Project: When Evolution is Infectious

For a class assignment I was tasked with creating an illustration to be paired with a scientific illustration from a pool of available articles, and we had the option of making them into either a two-page spread or a cover illustration. I chose cover. :)

The article I chose was this:
nautil.us/issue/29/scaling/when-evolution-is-infectious

The illustration incorporates microbes, a frog, and coral, in a fun and unique way that would hopefully entice readers to pick up the magazine and take a look.
