​
Purpose: This surgical illustration depicts a Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy surgery, otherwise known as a TPLO surgery. The procedure of sawing the bone and inserting the plate is shown. These steps are critical to ensuring proper angle alignment of the new bone position. Additionally, inserting the screws in proper sequence is important to securing the plate in the bone, flush to the surface.
Research + Rough Sketch
Layout Design

1
This first layout was trying to include too much unnecessary info on the right page. Experienced surgeons know to suture up at the end of surgery.
2
While this one allowed the steps to breathe a bit more, I still wasn't happy with the plate insertion sequence and I missed the zigzag of info on the first page.

After a lot of brainstorming sessions, I thought of an engaging way to show plate insertion sequence on page 2. With the zigzag coming back to the first page, I had more room to show the instruments and Tibia bone.
Final Deliverable
