Uol Live Well

"Turbine seu Cérebro" (Turbine Your Brain) is an editorial series published by UOL Viva Bem (UOL Live Well) focusing on science communication and mental health topics for digital journalism. Produced between 2018 and 2019, the project required visual storytelling that translates neuroscience and cognitive research into accessible, engaging imagery for a broad online audience.

The illustrations balance scientific accuracy with visual clarity, supporting long-form articles about brain function, mental performance, and cognitive wellness. Each piece adapts to the digital reading experience while maintaining consistency across the series. Art direction by Mariana Romani. Design by Suellen Valeria Gomes Lima. Assistant editing by Nathalie Ayres de Franco.
