One of the unusual things that I do at our creative agency (Brook-Schwartz) that is different than other agencies, is illustration. I have illustrated quite a few viruses and disease states for product brands. When the coronavirus first started showing up on news sites, I kept seeing the same two or three photos of computer generated “coronaviruses,” and the one blurry slide of the virus itself.
I decided to do my own version of Covid-19. I started by researching what I could find to base it on. The closest thing I found was the SARS virus, which is also a coronavirus, and based it on that.
