Savanna Jackson provides an insight into the field of medical illustration

 

Intro

Savanna Jackson gives a talk to an audience at the George Brown College, in Toronto, and gives them an insight into the field of medical illustration and the unique aspects of work that sets it apart from other fields of general design and illustration.

 
 

“THESE IMAGES ARE BEAUTIFUL BUT THEY NEED SOMETHING THAT REGULAR ILLUSTRATIONS DON’T NECESSARILY NEED AND THAT’S ACCURACY. AND ACCURACY IS WHAT SETS OUR INDUSTRY APART FROM THE TRADITIONAL ILLUSTRATION WORLD AND IT’S KIND OF THE WHOLE FOUNDATION OF OUR PROGRAM.”

— Savanna Jackson

 

Savanna obtained her Masters in Biomedical Communications from the University of Toronto and is trained in the visual communication of scientific and medical information through art and design.

This talk she did at the George Brown College, in Toronto, provides a brilliant insight into what the field of Biomedical Communications is and the type of work that you can do if you enter the field.
