An infographic poster on X-rays. X-rays can be considered as one of the most useful medical advancement in history. However, it is a double-edged sword and there is a dark side to X-rays that is hardly mentioned.

I decided to take a different approach to my infographic and presented it as a crime map.
(This infographic is not meant to be morbid or label X-rays as a 'horrible killing machine', it's to raise awareness on the effects of overexposure to radiation.)
Early victims whom dedicated their life and death to X-rays. These victims greatly contributed the field of X-rays.
Some of the harmful effects of X-rays. One of the challenges I faced was choosing the style of illustration to portray these injuries without it being a turn-off for the viewers. ( the actual photographs of these injuries has scarred me for life )
