Our design visualizes the experiences of disabled veterans boarding airplanes. We used data from a New York Times article showing the hardships of Charles Brown, a paralyzed veteran. We created a customer journey map showing emotions of this veteran’s experiences when boarding an airplane. With this data visualization, we wanted to support Paralyzed Veterans of America. We represented each emotion that a disabled veteran may feel while boarding an airplane with a symbol. We analyzed each task and action during this process. We then created a pattern of overlapping emotions. This pattern becomes a sequence. Our infographic will help airplane users be more attentive and thoughtful toward all disabled fliers. Users can access this infographic through pamphlets or booklets placed in airplane seats.
