Description

A collection of Editorial illustrations done for the New York Times, the New Yorker Magazine, and IDEO's blog, the Octopus.

'The secret life of a Coronavirus' is an essay by Carl Zimmer adapted from his book ‘Life’s Edge’. The full page illustration is featured on the cover of the NYTimes Sunday Review along with a supporting visual. The breathing animation of the key visuals echoes a big question in the essay and asks: Are viruses Alive?

'There is more to us than just our brains' reviews the book 'The Extended Mind' by Annie Murphy Paul and digs into the power of thinking outside the brain. The illustration lives in the NYTimes Book review section and visualises our ability to hear the signals that our bodies are communicating to us every bit as much as our brains are.

‘Persuading the body to regenerate its limbs’ illustrates an essay by Matthew Hutson in the New Yorker Magazine on the biologist Michael Levin's theory that cells use bioelectricity to decide what to become.

'What cooking Dinner for friends taught me about Prototyping' is Nicki Schafer's account of whipping up a sous vide machine at home to cook the perfect dinner for his friends and what the evening taught him about prototyping.

'CE 1.0 to CE 2.0' elaborates on why the circular economy needs to shift gears if we are to drive a more equitable and regenerative society. Chris Grantham and Vanessa Egli from IDEO believe that the key is nurturing the mindset that can see this through.
