I researched and wrote this one-page fact sheet, on the role of targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and traditional chemotherapy in the treatment of cancer, for a company that produces pharmaceutical training materials.
A key part of this assignment was to provide guidance for how a graphic designer could approach fitting all the information on one page, so the sample is shown here as a PDF. This writing sample also demonstrates meeting client specifications regarding the citation of source. (Including citing at the sentence level, using only client-approved sources, and following citation formatting standards.)
