Visualising Science
Clear and appealing visualisations of data and information are an excellent way to make science accessible to a wider audience. Illustrations are also an important component within the sciences – for example infographics for posters, in presentations or in publications.
In the seminar „Visualising Science“ we teach basic design principles and methods to present research results in a simpler and more engaging way. Interactive teaching content alternates with compact inputs, practical exercises and question-and-answer sessions. Based on their own research topic, participants work on the outline of an infographic.
The focus of the seminar is on communication with target groups beyond professional colleagues. The visualisation of research data for scientific publications is not part of the seminar. The seminar is not a software training course.
The main topics of the seminar are:
- Properties and effects of good visualisation
- Finding your own topic and developing image ideas
- Structure and design of an infographic
- Basic knowledge of visual design
- Roadmap from the sketch to the finished visualisation
- Tools, tips and tricks for creating infographics
- Paper, presentation, poster: differences in aim and visual language
- The nomenclature of styles for scientific illustrations
