Project Description
This giant anatomy puzzle series was developed in for Genius Games as their introduction in puzzle production (they are primarily a science themed board game company). The company wanted to produce an accurate yet approachable human anatomy puzzle for a lay audience with an interest in science. The artist proposed a seven part series, with each puzzle in the set – head, thorax, abdomen, and four limbs able to align with the others to create one giant 10-foot tall combination. The puzzles were developed as dissections, not straight sections for viewer engagement and understanding. The goal was to showcase important anatomy in each area, and the puzzle was rendered in bright colors and with lots of texture to make it interesting at the level of individual pieces. It was digitally painted using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop from many anatomic publications and author’s personal reference collection.
