The happy bacterium is a simple 3D model I created and rendered in Animation:Master (A:M). The one model was repeated, and each rotated slightly differently to create the chain of attacking bacteria. The knight model is available with the A:M software. I merely posed him, and gave him a worn, but nicely monogrammed, Shield of Antibiotics!

For the water story, the marketing director wanted to have a stop-motion photograph of a drop of water just as it hits a puddle. Good images of this sort are easy to find at stock photo libraries, but the licensing fees were higher than APD wished to pay. So, I launched A:M and half an hour later had a fine drop, replete with reflections. Tinting it with the blue ink, it became a nice focal point for the page, and gave a delicate underpinning to the story.

I am always amazed at what can be done with the average snap shot in Photoshop. The flash was too hot in the foreground, and not strong enough in the background. Some careful selecting and adjusting of levels made this photo work very well.

The illustration of the spinal block is a combination of drawings supplied by the equipment manufacturer. I reworked them in Photoshop, and added the blue color to make it more eye-catching.

The last page doubles as the mailing address panel, as well as a calendar of upcoming events and programs.
