“2D or 3D?”: One of the most common questions at the beginning of a project. Both techniques have their advantages and drawbacks – if you are interested, we would love to have a discussion with you about that. In the meantime, have a look at these two illustration series, where many aspects become apparent very clearly.
Disclaimer: The 3D series was produced after the 2D series and contains some content edits by the client (e. g. different shape of biomaterials).
