/ INTRO
Since 2022, I’ve been slowly cooking up a personal project: to take a deep dive into the literature and better understand which styles of medical illustration actually help when communicating with different target audiences. After many months of reviewing, analyzing, and synthesizing, the result is finally published.
I really hope this work can be a helpful tool for anyone working in visual medical communication.
