Being Human Final Design

Looking at the elements found in the human body, In Adobe Illustrator I connected all the protons and electrons tougher for each of the elements.

I then created a poster collection to show what percentage of each element is found in the Human body.

After looking at the different periodic elements the are found within the human body, I then started looking into the different uses of the different elements:

P (Phosphorous) - Matches  

K (Potassium) - Banana 

O (Oxygen) - Oxygen Tanks

C (Carbon) - Dimond

H (Hydrogen) - Fuel

N (Nitrogen) - Bulbs

Mg (Magnesium) - Fireworks

Cl (Chlorine) - Swimming Pools 

Na (Sodium) - Salt

From this research I can put a twist on the poster collection and say the we are 9.5% hydrogen fuel or 0.4% banana and 18.5% Dimond.

After writing my statement of intent for this project I started looking at the build up of the human body focusing on the Skeletal Structure, organ systems, muscle structure and nervous system

Then I had an idea about looking at the different periodic table elements that are found within the human body.

Periodic Table

I found this diagram showing the different periodic elements in the human body which also shows the percentages of the different elements.

A current graphic design trend of 2016 is geometry design and then when I started looking at the electron structure, I wondered what shapes I would be able to create by putting connecting all the electrons together for each of the elements would create.
