    uniE621 Conceptual Illustrations for Deep Packet Inspection (DPI)
    The Challenge: Deep Packet Inspection is a powerful but invisible process. The challenge was to create a visual language that could explain this complex network technology to clients in a way that was both accurate and visually compelling. The Solution: I developed a series of abstract, 3D-style conceptual illustrations. Using metaphors of light, energy, and data streams, I visualized how data packets flow through a network and how the DPI technology inspects and filters them. The dark theme and vibrant highlights create a premium, high-tech feel. The Impact: The illustration series provided the company with a powerful visual toolkit to use on their website, in technical whitepapers, and marketing materials. It helped demystify their core technology, positioning them as a sophisticated and leading-edge player in the cybersecurity field.
