Some Science Illustration

I'm so into scientific illustration.  These two are some simple concepts, for the wee people among us.  Infographics and educational material are really interesting design problems.  Seems to pull from many perceptual faculties at once.  You can never talk to yourself.  Always from the point of view of someone who wants to learn.  Very similar process to designing any layout actually.  And these days, you have to keep up a variety of aesthetics to keep visual interest.  So I went pirate mappy with the map concepts.  With the fossils, I wanted something more museum display.  Sometimes a clean presentation is a nice background to a rather dirty old subject.
