What is the first thing we scientists look at in scientific articles or on posters? The figures! But they are not only meant to be eye-catching. They also convey information with a density that words can never attain. Because figures are so powerful in communicating scientific data, extra care should be taken when designing them. In this workshop, you will learn basic design rules and how to apply those rules to your figures. These universal concepts can be transferred to all kinds of scientific figures – from maps, diagrams, or plots to schematic visualizations.
In this interactive workshop, we will analyze scientific figures while paying attention to different elements like grids, color, arrows, and symmetry. Finally, you will have the opportunity to work on your own figures and receive extensive feedback from both workshop participants and the instructor.
