Understanding Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor
Overview
Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) is a unique type of cancer that develop within the muscle layers of the stomach wall. It is estimated. This editorial spread reveals the gross pathology as well as the molecular mechanism that are involved in the development of GIST.

Date: Fall 2019
Media: print/digital spread
Tools: Autodesk Maya, Sketchbook Pro, Adobe Illustrator
Pre Visualization
At the ideation stage, I studied the grastric fold landscape based on research. I was also lucky to have an observership at the Trillium Health Partners Mississauga Hospital to study tissue colors. Aside from drawing and observing, I used autodesk maya to help understand lighting and perspective.

Iterations
The challenge of this magazine spread is to visualize the pathology at a molecular, cellular, and gross anatomy level. I experimented with different layout to help categorize information and guide the viewers' reading order.
Final Layout
The goal is to present spatial and sequential information in a clean and orderly manner. Colors are used to direct attention and the layout is designed to guide viewers' reading order.
