BRAINTSUNAMIS
Learn in-depth and cutting-edge information about stroke research on the new BRAINTSUNAMIS learning platform by the Center for Stroke Research at the Charité University Medicine Berlin.
For this challenging and fascinating project I assisted on the concept development for the learning platform, collaborated closely with the designer on the website’s creative direction, created bespoke illustration and developed new ways of visually communicating complex scientific ideas and information with the projects’ lead neuroscientist, and developed the concepts, art direction and storyboards for three new animations.
It was a pleasure to work with the BRAINTSUNAMIS project’s lead scientist and project manager Maren K. L. Winkler, MD, designer Annette Fischer, animator Sam Muirhead, and programmer Paulina Seroczynska.
BRAINTSUNAMIS website
Selected website header illustrations for different chapters of the website.
Innovative concept illustration describing the changes in a neuron due to spreading depolarisation.
Spot illustrations for the tutorial and history chapters of the website
Dynamic Changes of the Ischemic Penumbra animation
In close work with the lead scientist and animator, I developed the visual concept, storyboard and vector assets for animation, to communicate specific information about dynamic changes of the ischemic penumbra following a stroke.
Spreading Depolarization and Spreading Depression of Activity in the Electrocorticogram animation
In close work with the lead scientist and animator, I developed the visual concept, storyboard and vector assets for animation, to communicate specific information about electrical change in the brain following a stroke.
Startscreen looping animation
In close work with the lead scientist and animator, I developed the visual concept and vector assets for the website’s startscreen header animation, visualising the electrical wave of negative charge moving through the brain after a stroke.
