Cancer Diagnostics
Book Cover Design
It was a gift to have my art & design published on the cover of this scholarly work. I worked with co-author and editor Dr. Noureddine Melikechi, the Dean of Kennedy College of Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, to bring his vision for this publication cover to life.

Iterations
I always start with research when I approach design. For this cover art, I began by educating myself about the process of optical spectroscopy and imaging. This technique is a real-time, sensitive, and non-invasive diagnostic tool that uses the propagation of light through biological tissue to detect and characterize human cancers, even in anatomically inaccessible locations.






Directives & Requested Inclusions
-
A grid and scattered colored dots to represent data points.

and light waves. -

Light vs. Dark



Final REPs
I love using art and design to make complex subjects more accessible, and having the opportunity to do just that with such a profound publication in collaboration with someone as brilliant as Dr. Melikechi was a true honor.
