Approach

The objective was to develop an editorial cover illustration for an academic journal on any emerging research publication of choice. This piece explored the communication challenge of depicting the human neuron as a recognizable "computer", which requires effectively balancing two modes of depiction (mechanical and organic) across two scales of scientific realism (visual and structural).
