Visual Influences

When creating ‘Resistance’ m

ideas were aimed at a side s

The Bacteria, a vile being born only

to cause chaos within the beautiful

world of the antibiotics.

I decided to give this characteran angular design to reflect its

evil/edgy nature.

the shape of the bacteria

was inspired by a crow and its

movements are loosely based

on that of a neanderthal man.

The Antibiotic(s) the resistance,

protectors of the world.

Their designs are based on aquatic

animals: Platypus, Crocodile,Duck and a dolphin.

Just like The Bacteria the shape of

the antibiotics reflects their nature,

soft,kind and gentle. But when

antagonised by the bacteria

they will stand their ground.
