Annelida, a common and diverse group of marine invertebrates, populate habitats all over the world. However, many questions around their evolutionary relationships remain unanswered - AM scientists invited international colleagues to help!
These are deep sea fish. They make my skin crawl. So what better subject to produce a series of illustrations about? Some very weird and wonderful creatures here ranging from the vampire squid to the blob fish. Obviously these images are the start of me using referance imagery to base my illustration on for the content of my publication. I think something I blatantly need to think about is what limitations am I setting for colour here? I deliberately left this area of the brief quite open so I could make a more informed decsion later on based on my content and visual approach at the end of the brief just before printing. I was talking about my project with Ollie earlier, and he came up with this idea: "If the book is a classification archive, why not base your type and layout solutions on old victorian botany books and the like." - obviously im paraphrasing here, but you get the idea, and I think its a pretty good idea. So this visual approach needs exploring. I'm thinking serif fonts, flourishes - and possibly greyscale. I want to think about colour after I have all the content finished first because the publication is definately visual and content driven and these are the most important factors right now, everything else is secondary.

This powerpoint is a great resource for teachers covering the three worm phylums. The powerpoint covers topics of the following phylums: Flatworms (platyhelminthes), Roundworms (Nematoda), and Segmented worms (Annelida). This resource has great information along with many diagrams and pictures of various species of worms from each phylum. The students' favorites are traditionally the "gross" pictures of the parasitic worms - especially the tapeworm and the guinea worm. Enjoy! :)
ctenophora was the fifth entity to arrive.
