A Mosaic Portrait of Wolfgang Kuebler for the Physiologist magazine.
For the September 2023 cover of The Physiologist magazine, the journal of the American Physiological Society, I was commissioned to create an editorial illustration of Wolfgang Kuebler. As the magazine explores his role in leading the American Physiological Society (APS) through the complexities of scholarly publishing, I designed a portrait entirely from fragments of academic papers. The mosaic portrait is made up of research articles and scholarly text, visually emphasizing the challenges and intricacies of scientific publishing and Kuebler's leadership in this evolving field. The typographic elements come together to form a portrait of Kuebler, reflecting the nature of his work while celebrating the intersection of research, science, and publication.
The American Physiological Society was founded in 1887, and The Physiologist is its magazine. The September 2023 cover portrait is built from research articles and scholarly text, so the face is assembled from the publishing system the issue covers.
