About this project
Jen Christiansen, the senior editor at Scientific American, approached us to help simplify Alzheimer’s disease for the magazine’s readership, often a general public audience with some science knowledge.
The first page of the spread covered the basics of Alzheimer’s disease with illustrations of micor and macro brain changes.
The second spread detailed four emerging Alzheimer’s interventions.
The SciAm writers for this project expected us to fill in most of the information, so the research and sources had to be water-tight.
Despite the complex nature of these treatments, we were able to simplify them into understandable visuals.
Due to the print nature of Scientific American, they require high resolution imagery, and vectorising the illustrations is an important part of the final project stages.
