Abstract:
In this seminar we’ll start out by learning the basic design principles, including basic typography, that are the foundation of all visual design. We’ll look at some good and bad, and before-and-after designs of some real-world products such as posters for science research, flyers for science talks, webpages for science topics, power-point presentations, maps, and data visualizations. The principles and skills you will learn will improve your scientific communication products and their potential to communicate science in a clear and understandable way.
