During my minor, Meaningful Data Design, we had to visualize 'one billion'. 
After some brainstorm sessions I had the idea to show people how small one billion could be instead of how big people think one billion really is. The human body was my inspiration for coming up with my subject. Cells are so tiny, you can't even imagine. 
This is why I chose human cells to show my message.

I used watercolor, photoshop and illustrator.
