The most recent publication of Designers Digest (Number 98) is a small work of art in itself. This is not only due to the highly aesthetic layout and the fine print quality, but to a great extent its impressive picture gallery starting on page 43, which promises “Views from the inside – layer by layer”, or to be more exact: a glimpse into the medicalpicture® database.
Those who have read the self-portrait of medicalpicture® on its website may wonder to what extent a medical and scientific picture agency might be of interest to a professional magazine for designers. Yet a glance at the perplexingly beautiful images in the Designers Digest suffices to overcome doubts of any kind: the images of the inside of the body indeed have an aesthetic quality, which one would hardly expect as a regular mortal patient who otherwise has only seen x-rays or ultrasonic pictures.
Rare treasures
What amateur could imagine that the gently gleaming pink corals on page 44 could be cross-sections of the large and small intestines? And where else would one have the opportunity to submerge oneself into the web of veins in the human cerebellum? In any case, browsing through the medicalpicture® images in the current issue of Designers Digest will arouse your curiosity to explore the picture agency’s actual database. After just a few pages it will be clear that there are many more treasures to behold in the human body.
