The Apprentice Corporation: Apprentice Doctor® How to Stitch Wounds Illustrations: Project Zeta

Client: The Apprentice Corporation

In 2007 The Apprentice Corporation added a second kit to their increasingly successful Apprentice Doctor® line. While their first kit had been centred on the basic principles and techniques of examining patients and aimed at a younger student with aspirations in medicine, this one was intended for the medical student already well on his way to becoming a full fledged medical practitioner. It taught in detail the fine art of suturing and provided everything a medical student would need to train himself to perfection.

Drawing Conclusions provided over 200 instructional illustrations for the multimedia CD-Rom. The image above shows one of the intermediate steps in "Project Zeta: Instrument Tie of a Surgeon's Knot"

When detailing step-by-step procedures like knot tying, illustrations are often more useful than photographs because the illustrator has more control over which details stand out. The clean line work visually separates the overlapping, intertwined strings far more clearly than a photograph would, and makes the task of learning knot tying a lot more simple and less confusing for the reader because he can see where the strings are supposed to be, rather than get a general image of what he is supposed to be looking at.
