Production, Circulation, and Drainage
Cerebrospinal Fluid:
This two-page textbook spread is the result of a collaborative effort of three students in the Biomedical Communications neuroanatomy course. For this group project, a pre-determined style guide and colour palette were followed, and a studio environment workflow was emulated, with each team member taking charge of a different stage of execution. My role was the conceptualization and design of the illustrations and layout and the composition of text. Illustrations were then vectorized by Kim and rendered by Felix. The goal of this spread is to communicate key anatomical and physiological aspects of cerebrospinal fluid at molecular, tissue, and system scales.

Phénomène de flexion-relaxation lombaire
Cette double page de manuel scolaire a été créé pour un travail de biomécanique dans le cadre du programme Biomedical Communications. Dr Tyson Beach, membre du corps professoral du Département de kinésiologie de l'Université de Toronto, a agi à titre de conseiller en matière de contenu pour ce projet, fournissant des commentaires sur l'exactitude du texte et des images. La série d'illustrations vise à communiquer les postulats biomécaniques à la base du phénomène de flexion-relaxation lombaire et ses principales implications cliniques (œuvre disponible en anglais seulement).
