• Circles represented the expanding attack surfaces

• Gaps between lines symbolized system vulnerabilities

• Red marbles with motion trails indicated weak spots compromising interconnected systems. 
   

Below, I showcase the full design process—from initial illustration concepts and visual research to finalized sketches for social media.
