Value The Madman
I Collaborated with psychiatrist Dr. Joel Klahr to design a research poster for an international medical symposium in Berlin, Germany. The work done by Dr. Klahr on phenomenological psychopathology, focused on how psychotic experience manifests in the poetry of Raúl Gómez Jattín.
The Challenge:
I needed to present rigorous psychiatric research alongside poetry in a single, self-contained format to be presented to an interdisciplinary audience (psychiatrists, medical students and general public) in a simple way without oversimplifying or dehumanizing the subject.
The Approach
Rather than traditional academic poster design (dense text + charts), I created an integrated visual-narrative system that centers the poet's voice and visual elements. The information architecture allows multiple 'reading paths'. For example psychiatrists can follow the Methods/Results structure and general audiences follow the human narrative.
The Result
An elaborated communication design that demonstrates the intersection of psychiatry and art.
