Illustration for the Royal Society of Chemistry for Chemistry World Magazine
Significant Figures is a monthly article telling the story of a chemist who made major discoveries in her/his domain and who has been forgotten, usually women.
My work is to make the illustration of the frame of these chemists, hiding chemical formulas, molecules...
This project started in 2019 and is till going on now as the articles found a great success. Chemistry World team and I have now built a strong relationship and I think they are my dearest client.
Please enjoy more than a year of work and incredible stories !
