Feature story with illustrations by Tomer Hanuka

Feature story with illustrations by Celia Johnson

The University of Maryland developed this magazine to promote its research efforts to the business, science and government communities of the Mid-Atlantic region.

For an article about wireless security, I hired Tomer Hanuka to illustrate the artwork’s storyline about two high tech thieves’ attempts to break into a corporate computer network.

A later issue covered biotechnology’s benefits to our food supply. For the cover, I hired an artist to design a silver egg cup with a stem in the shape of a double-helix. We photographed it on a “plate” of hay for the cover. For the lead story about poultry vaccines, I hired illustrator Celia Johnson to create a chicken factory with an assembly line that ends at a vaccination station. This story won a Silver award from the University College and Designer Association.
