Using a diagnostic metaphor, the visualization reimagines a petri dish as a radial chart whose concentric rings represent the years 2000–2020, with cost mapped clockwise from $0 to over $250,000 and each drug plotted by approval year, price, and survival benefit.
A supporting timeline traces the case of Gleevec—whose price rose by 400% without improving outcomes—alongside data on financial toxicity, revealing the human cost of unchecked pricing. Together, these elements critique a system that prioritizes profit over patient care and argue that the price of life‑saving treatment should never become a threat to survival in itself.
From the start, I knew I wanted somehow incorporate “cells” somewhere in my poster. My idea was for the cells to be the main representation of my data. I sketched a variety of ways I could accomplish this and ended up with a stacked spiral with dots for my cell design.
Initially, my graph followed a bar graph, but throughout my process I changed it to be more fitting to my topic and overall unique. This lead me to think directly more to science, cells, and labs, and I landed at a petri dish with cells. Since I knew my graph would be circular, I made it so that the data would function and work the radial graph design.
After this, I added details such as a grain gradient effect to my illustration to add depth.
