C O L L AT E R A LAT LEFT:• I designed this poster (original size 11”x17”) to briefly convey tomedical professionals what, exactly, Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD)is. The client, FMDChat, wanted something that not only presentedthe medical rundown but also presented what FMD patientsunderwent as a result of the condition. These were printed anddistributed by FMDChat boardmembers and stakeholders to their ownmedical professionals, as well as being made available at conferencesand assorted presentations.
