SHOW and TELL

We designed Health Magazine for the USC Keck School of Medicine over the course of a decade three times annually. In that time, we worked with more than 100 artists on hundreds of custom, commissioned illustrations. This helped us build an unparalleled network of artists we call on for all our clients. Defining the art and metaphor of Health also played a role in increasing readership from 90,000 to 250,000.
