Purpose
Take a text document and translate into magazine spread format: complete with infographics, subheads, and consistent style.
Concept
One moment from the text that caught my eye, was when the author compared a human hypothalamus to the size of an almond. This quirk fact stuck with me, and inspired the comic images found within this piece. I then decided to create a series of icons with this language, in order to bring an absurdity to this article like the kind many of us face when we cannot sleep.
