What’s really in your glass of water? 💧🔬
Thrilled to share this conceptual cover design for Science Magazine, exploring the invisible world within our urban water systems. The idea behind 'Life in Every Drop' was to bridge the gap between complex metagenomics and a simple, human gesture. Using the 'Un Mal Dibujante' (A Bad Drafter) philosophy, I wanted to strip away the technical jargon and show the vibrant, microscopic DNA landscape that flows right from our taps.
In a world of hyper-realistic renders, sometimes a raw, honest stroke is what’s needed to make people stop and look at the data.

In a world of hyper-realistic renders, sometimes a raw, honest stroke is what’s needed to make people stop and look at the data.
The Foundation: A raw, hand-drawn stroke to strip away technical jargon and focus on the essential metaphor.
Conceptual Layering: Merging scientific metagenomics with a vibrant visual language that feels human and urgent.
Final Execution: The 'Un Mal Dibujante' philosophy applied to a Science Magazine cover concept, proving that simplicity stands out.
Behind the Stroke:
A Process Praised by Industry Leaders: This process video—recently recognized by visual storytellers at Science and The Washington Post—breaks down the 'Un Mal Dibujante' methodology. It’s not just about drawing; it’s about translating complex scientific data into a raw, honest, and compelling visual narrative.
