Fibrin is a protein that is critical for hemostasis and wound healing, due to the significant structural properties it exhibits when activated. I designed this two-page spread for a popular science magazine to explain the molecular mechanism by which this occurs to a lay audience.

This illustration shows the structural architecture of and relationship between fibrin and its precursor fibrinogen -- focusing on the ensuing cross-linking and aggregation interactions that contribute to polymerization and facilitate clot mechanical elasticity and stiffness. I implemented a combination of colour-coding, callouts, scale and depth of field to direct viewer attention, give context, and promote communication clarity.
