This practice led research project explored visual representation through illustrations designed to communicate often complex medical information for different users within Auckland City Hospital, New Zealand. Media and tools were manipulated to affect varying degrees of naturalism or abstraction from reality in the creation of illustrations for a variety of real-life clinical projects, and user feedback on illustration preference gathered from both medical professionals and patients. While all users preferred the most realistic representations of medical information from the illustrations presented, patients often favoured illustrations that depicted a greater amount of information than professionals suggested was necessary.
这个实践导向的研究项目通过插图探索视觉呈现，这些插图旨在为新西兰奥克兰市医院的不同用户传达通常较为复杂的医学信息。在为各种实际临床项目创作插图时，对媒体和工具进行了操控，以实现不同程度的自然主义或与现实的抽象化，同时收集了医学专业人员和患者对插图偏好的用户反馈。虽然所有用户都更喜欢所展示插图中对医学信息最逼真的呈现，但患者通常更青睐那些描绘的信息量超过专业人员认为必要程度的插图。
