Dr. Zhang’s work explores the use of externally mounted magnets to wirelessly deliver electrical stimulation via biodegradable nanoparticles, enabling precise interaction with neurons and enhanced brain imaging.
My challenge as an illustrator was to capture this technology while not over-complicating the visual demonstration. The goal was to capture a stylistic image that blends comic art (simplistic) within scientific illustration (complex). We wanted the image to be explanatory, but not overly so — hence why there is no text — and visually engaging for an audience already familiar with brain research (other scientists).
The poster (printed) accompanied his team to a conference in Japan, where he spoke about his cutting-edge research.
Here’s a video of Elric speaking about how we first met and the decision to collaborate together. ↓
