Create a two-page magazine spread about a molecular process

Client: Prof. Derek Ng

Step 1: Ideation and Research

Upon reading David Goodsell's article about the Initiation Factor eIF4E, I felt inspired to learn more about trial anti-cancer drugs that target the translation initiation complex.

Step 2: Drafts and Iterations

After completing a rough draft, I would ask for feedback from my professor (the client) and my fellow classmates in the Biomedical Communications Program. Upon many rounds of iteration, I finalize on the composition, story and text for the page.
