Artwork created by Qingyang Chen (QCVisual) for a double-page spread in a science magazine. It is the first comprehensive illustration of the leading theories of microscopic mechanisms of disease of Reitnitis Pigmentosa. This illustration aims to capture the reader’s interest as well as communicate a lot of scientific information in a concise, approachable manner.
This piece won the Octavia Garlington Award for Outstanding Achievement in Instructional Print Media at the O.A. Parkes Symposium & International Student Conference in 2015 as well as an Award of Merit in the Didactic/Instructional – Molecular/Biological/Life Sciences category at the 2014 AMI conference.
