Medical illustration is art as applied to medicine, a graphic and visual interpretation
of biomedical material. It is used effectively in all major markets, including
advertising, editorial, institutional and instructional. Biomedical images
can be highly realistic and anatomically accurate, or abstract and wildly conceptual
in their approach.
To visually portray an idea clearly and effectively, we believe a medical
artist requires a strong background in human biology and anatomy. He/she should
also
be a good communicator, versatile in a variety of digital and traditional
techniques, and be creative and imaginative.
Our philosophy is to make medical information understandable by the audience
in the best and quickest way possible. Aesthetically pleasing images are
indeed highly regarded, but in an era when consumers of medical art may
not have more
than a few seconds to view an image, there is no room for distraction from
the main topic. At the same time we strive to maintain anatomical accuracy.
