This year’s lecture to the Tissue Engineering undergraduate module (Cardiff University, Biosciences) is approaching. My job is to introduce the students to skin structure and function with a focus on normal wound healing. This year, I finally have time to improve the presentation, combining Ai and powerpoint, and have just spent six hours redoing the wound healing sequence of slides.
Wound healing is a very complex process and is normally divided into four stages; immediate, inflammatory, proliferation and resolution phases which overlap considerably. Careful planning and layer discipline in Ai to export the drawings with and without certain parts visible to build up the animation in powerpoint were the main considerations rather than drawing techniques. However, there was one thing that frustrated me; the erythrocyte. I had to laugh when the first Ai effect I tried, extrude and bevel, converted my red blood cell into something more reminiscent of a blood vessel. The one marked erythrocyte below is the original and the others have had various effects applied to them. As you can see I am still looking for a perfect RBC but otherwise the whole animation is so much better than the previous one I had created.
