BBC AUTISM
 

Editorial Autism Illustration for BBC Science Focus Magazine 2026

Animated Loop for app and socials.

 

This was a sensitive topic to visualise.

We went through 30 sketches, allot of back and forth between me and the AD and the Publisher.

The day before deadline the publisher decided to have the faces on the cover of the magazine (see below), because of sensitivity and not wanting to offend people on the spectrum.

The distorting man was the main and key approach. So I am letting this one prime here.

To me it works best, but it became an additional delivery instead of the cover.

AD: Joe Eden

Studio: Our Media ltd

App: Apple News

Below you can see the cover.

The concept was one of the first batch, where I just needed to sketch 'autism' without detailed context.
