Social Enterprise and Geothermal Energy Infographics
Infographic explaining what AKI Energy does in First Nation communities.
KAP has had the pleasure to collaborate with AKI Energy, an indigenous social enterprise responsible for job creation, lowering energy costs and installing geothermal units in First Nation communities. We’ve created a number of infographics to explain the important work AKI does and how their geothermal energy installations work. The visual assets populate AKI’s website and are utilized at community and stakeholder meetings.

KAP has also created a motion graphics video to explain geothermal energy. You can view the video on the AKI Energy website.
Integrated Youth Services Network Infographic
Integrated Youth Services Network Infographic by KAP Design
Infographics can provide an ideal “view from 10,000 feet” or overview of progress made towards an initiative. KAP worked with the Canadian Mental Health Association Wellington Waterloo to create an overview of the progress made in developing the Integrated Youth Services Network (IYSN) in Wellington County and the City of Guelph.
The infographic communicates the challenge that the IYSN is intending to solve and the vision of the network. A timeline outlines the work – speakers, workshops, collaborations, meetings – that has happened over the past year. Finally, a call to action to support the IYSN spans the bottom of the infographic that was shared at the ‘One Year Later’ event where stakeholders, partners and community members were updated on the progress of the initiative.

Theory of Change Facilitation and Visualization
Smart Cities Theory of Change infographic by KAP Design.
As part of the City of Guelph’s application in the Smart Cities Challenge, KAP was thrilled to facilitate the creation of Guelph’s Circular Food Economy Theory of Change (ToC) and then design the infographic that visualizes the innovative model. The facilitation phase of the project involved bringing all of the stakeholders together for multiple sessions. Ideas and viewpoints were captured after each session and summarized to support the next session. When the ToC was complete, KAP visualized the theory to clarify and summarize the Circular Food Economy for the application.
The City of Guelph was one of four winners and were rewarded $10 million to create their Circular Food Economy. Congratulations to everyone involved!

Science Communication Infographics
Science communication infographic by KAP Design.
Since 2016, KAP Design has created science communication infographics with the Norris Lab and their collaborators that drive traffic from social media to the published papers in science journals. The visual assets consistently result in more replies, retweets, and likes on Twitter, for example, and provide added value to blog posts and media coverage. Here are some of our favourite infographics to date.
KAP has created a second video as part of the College of Veterinarians of Ontario’s (CVO) awareness campaign to educate both veterinarians and pet owners about the value of the veterinarian-client-patient-relationship (VCPR). The first video covered herd health and the new one focuses on companion animals. View the video on Vimeo or on the CVO website.
Natural Heritage Infographics
Environmental monitoring infographic by KAP Design for the City of Guelph’s Natural Heritage Action Plan.
KAP Design created a series of infographics ranging from illustrated maps to landscape perspectives to visualize the City of Guelph’s Natural Heritage Action Plan. Illustrated local flora and fauna species populate the infographics adding engagement to important information intended to support the protection, maintenance, restoration and improvement of Guelph’s natural ecosystems as the city grows.

A Strategic Plan Visualized
Strategic Plan infographic by KAP Design.
A strategic plan is like a map that helps a business or organization communicate their vision and mission and reach their goals. It makes sense to visualize the plan and increases access to the information, keep the plan front and centre as decisions are made, and ensure everyone is on mission.
KAP Design visualized Guelph Family Health Team’s new strategic plan layering priorities and goals on top of local landmarks and active Guelphites. The visual asset will increase engagement and create a connection with the community throughout the next two years.
