Project: An educational scientific poster exploring the rat digestive system, with a focus on the structure and function of the small intestine across different scales. The project combines anatomical visualization with microscopic detail to support deeper understanding of digestive processes.
Communication need:
Understanding the digestive system requires connecting large-scale anatomy with microscopic structures and function. This project aimed to communicate how the structure of the small intestine changes along its length, and how these differences relate to digestion and absorption, using both anatomical and microscopic perspectives.
Audience:
The primary audience includes students and educators in biology and anatomy. The content was designed to support learning by presenting complex structural and functional relationships in an accessible and visually organized format.
Visual Solution:
I developed a multi-scale illustration combining a full anatomical overview of the rat digestive system with detailed cross-sectional views of the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The design integrates labeled structures, microscopic-inspired textures, and a clear visual hierarchy to connect anatomical form with functional variation along the digestive tract.
Outcome:
The final illustration functions as an educational resource that links anatomy and histology within a single cohesive visual. It demonstrates the ability to communicate complex biological relationships across scales, supporting both teaching and scientific understanding.
