Course description:

Divided into two parts, this workshop will first provide you with the theoretical understanding of how design works and secondly how to incorporate these principles into the visualisation of your own scientific data.

We will discuss how design is perceived and which of its mechanisms we can and should use to visualise our data and which we should avoid. We will talk about how to communicate the story of a paper accurately and effectively using attractive figures. We will learn some basic principles of design and data visualization and will then see the application of these principles in examples showing best- and worst-case data visualizations, so that you get a concrete idea of the pitfalls to avoid. Finally, we will work together on your own figures to make them simpler, clearer and more beautiful.
