Visual Strategies for Science Communication

#sxsw #visualsci

Iap21511

Following the success of the Design and Science: More than a Pretty Picture panel at SXSW 2013, we hope to continue the conversation about the creative side of discovery and the new approaches to communicating science through visual expression. We’ll discuss strategies for creating effective visual graphics for use in multiple contexts, and how small changes can vastly improve the success of a graphic image. We'll explore how designers and scientists can learn from each other while working together to communicate through an engaging and accessible language.
