Teaching Design to Scientists: Assist from Juan Velasco

I recently taught an information design workshop to science graduate students at Stanford University. The idea was to give scientists some grounding in design principles and processes that could help them in presenting their work. They were hungry for examples and I found Juan Velasco’s National Infographic blog extremely useful. Especially his post about the design decisions that went into creating a graphic for a National Geographic article on Birds of Paradise.

Thanks Juan!

Birds of Paradise

This blog is focused on information design, the creation of infographics for visual understanding of complex processes, data and ideas.
