I had the privilege to work on this project along with Nancy Balderas, one of the best reporters, editors, and teammates, just when our careers started to take off.
This project is centred around the Catholic celebration of the Holy Mother, “La Virgen Maria”. It includes an infographic that explains the symbols found in the images of each Tepeyac Chapel, as well as an infographic about the most famous image of the Virgin Mary in Mexico.
It is widely known that the majority of Mexicans are Catholic. Every year on December 12th, the nation celebrates the most important event for the catholic community in Mexico, commemorating the day in 1531 when the Virgin Mary appeared to an indigenous boy named Juan Diego. This event is significant and deeply rooted in the country’s rich cultural and religious heritage.
On this page, I have explained how I created the infographics for the Tepeyac Chapels and the work behind the graphic material.
To create the illustrations and photographs for each chapel, I personally visited Tepeyac. Meanwhile, my colleague Nancy conducted research and wrote the accompanying text that would complement the graphics.

The images were traced from various internet photos. Some were traced directly using Illustrator, while others were produced by first tracing the draft of the chapel with a pen.
