Project Description

Novartis has an immense pipeline of products in development, and prior to 2018, had a range of approaches to depicting these products and their mechanisms.

Radius was tasked with performing a competitive analysis of all major pharmaceutical companies and their approach to illustrating the mechanisms of products in development, establishing a look and feel that was appropriate for both the audience and corporate culture, and finally developing illustrations for all products within the Novartis pipeline.

The project included the development of a style guide for color, depiction of cell types, biological processes, and instructional design elements.
