Breathe, Baltimore Head Start

Breathe, Baltimore Head Start

Breathe, Baltimore Head Start

One of a series of illustrations that were created for the Head Start program in Baltimore City Schools. This illustration depicts a little girl who might suffer from asthma. The illustration was published in a flip book for parents and teachers who are learning about asthma in young children and how to recognize symptoms, warning signs for an asthma attack, how to take care of children and medications. For this particular illustration, Jeni took several days’ outings around the Baltimore Metropolitan area to take pictures of the cityscape and its grafitti-decorated walls. She combined textures and several references of urban young residents to create her intended vision of a girl blowing bubbles in an area that might have poor air quality due to pollutants in the city air

This 3-page opening spread illustrates the malaria life cycle caused by Plasmodium falciparum. It is designed to engage the readership and serve as the Table of Contents for Johns Hopkins Public Health Magazine’s Malaria Special Issue. Each panel introduces featured content: Panel 1 illustrates pathogenesis within an Anopheles mosquito; Panel 2 depicts the cycle within the human body; Panel 3 highlights Africa, particularly Zambia, a population deeply affected by malaria. Pregnant women and young children are at highest risk of succumbing to this disease. A blood vessel emphasizes flow and progression, guiding the viewer through each stage of the life-cycle, ultimately metamorphosing into the mosquito’s watery breeding environment. An overleaf (see inset*) verbally introduces the spread.
