The Vitruvian Man, a pen and ink drawing by Leonardo da Vinci, depicts a man fitting his body to a circle and a square by adjusting the position of his arms and legs and is probably the most famous drawing in the world. Vitruvius was an ancient Roman architect who wrote a series of ten books on architecture, one of the few collections of books of its type that survived into the Renaissance. In the third volume, which is on the proportions of temples, he states that these buildings should be based on the proportions of man, because the human body is the model of perfection, stating that the human body with arms and legs extended fits into the perfect geometric forms, the circle, and the square.

Not only was Leonardo an artist, a philosopher, and an inventor, but also an anatomist - one of the first to dissect and map the human body. This Universal Man represents the beauty, complexity, and symmetry of the human frame. It also represents da Vinci�s passion for Art, Science, and the Philosophy of the medical field. It is for these reasons that I have chosen his art work - the embodiment of health for man and woman - as my logo.

 

With my experience as a paramedic and lab technician and training as a physician�s assistant and creative/technical writer, my goal is to provide clear, concise, and compelling copy for a variety of audiences, including health care providers, pharmacists, patients/consumers, and pharmaceutical sales representatives.
