Project Description
Atopic dermatitis is a complex disease that involves multiple components of the body’s immune system. This 2-page spread was created to give a brief overview on atopic dermatitis and its treatment, and to provide a walkthrough of the pathogenesis of the disease. The right half of the spread shows the changes in the skin throughout the four stages of atopic dermatitis, both at the macroscopic level and at the cellular level. The aim was to allow the reader to make connections between what is happening to the layers of the skin at the macroscopic level to the activity of various immune cells during each stage.
