Visualize your Science

Say hello to our newest team member, Liam Strand!

With a PhD in medical science and a passion for health economics and ethics, Liam brings a fresh perspective. His creative edge, shaped by years in the music and video production world, is a perfect fit for our mission.

Welcome, Liam!

Today, we welcome Trung Nguyen from @umeauniversitet.bsky.social to the Poster Wall! This poster has a strong entry point and a clear diagonal flow starting from the Illustration of Mars in the top left corner down to the conclusions in the bottom right.

Excellent work, Trung!

Less is more, especially on posters! When placing text on our posters, we often resort to text boxes. They are, however, very distracting and visually heavy design elements, so here are some tips on what to do with text boxes that clutter your poster.

Applause to Tiia Nurminen from the University of Jyväskylä for designing this outstanding poster. It's a great example of how to masterfully blend the depth of academic research with light-hearted, engaging illustrations, resulting in a truly remarkable piece.

Excellent work, Tiia!

We're highlighting the work of Ann-Kathrin Rößling from @uni-freiburg.de‬ on our poster wall today.
The poster's comic-style visuals bring energy and clarity to complex scientific concepts. From the illustrations to the adapted graphs, every element contributes to a cohesive and engaging design.

We're pleased to feature this poster by Aimer Gutierrez-Diaz from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences on our poster wall today. The use of the viral palette offers a clear and compelling visual explanation of the research. Well done on a thoughtful and effective poster!

That's a wrap on Color harmony of the week! Over the past weeks, we explored how different palettes, complementary, triadic, tetradic, and more, can shape scientific visuals and posters.

We're proud to showcase Elena Bergamasco from the University of Copenhagen on our poster wall today. The poster stands out for its clear visual storytelling, using the seed to guide the viewer through the research. The research group's logo, designed by Elena, adds a personal and creative touch.

Grayscale = timeless and clean, but it can feel cold. Simen Jervell Lund adds just a touch of color for contrast; smart, subtle, and effective.

Welcome to the poster wall, Viktor Lidström from KTH Royal Institute of Technology! A great example of using background visuals to support the research theme and create a more engaging poster. Nicely done!

Monochromatic palettes are clean, but they can fall flat. Oda Braar Waege uses light and dark tones to create contrast and keep things interesting.

Regina Paul from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology brings a fresh take on theoretical posters, using a creative notebook layout and 3D visuals to make this one stand out. Great work!

Analogous palettes are calm and cohesive, but contrast can be tricky. Louise Brandt shows how to keep things clear without breaking the harmony.

Great use of visual storytelling by Mateusz Janczak from @stockholm-uni.bsky.social . A striking image draws you in and supports the science, exactly what a poster should do.

Tetradic palettes are bold, but without control, they get messy fast. Enriqueta Noriega Benitez uses a dark background and restrained brights to keep things focused.

Lasse Kristensen from @au.dk reimagines the research poster with a clean layout, soft visuals, and clear structure. A standout example of modern design!

Triadic palettes = balance + energy, but only if no color takes over. Magdalene Kaplan keeps it calm so all three accents pop.

Welcome to the poster wall, Ida Nordström from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences! This poster shows how clear methods and early results can still make a big impact. Great work!

Split complementary palettes offer contrast without the harshness. Renske Wierda nails it by using desaturated tones for a calm, pastel effect in the poster.

Flore Wijnands from @stockholm-uni.bsky.social shows that hand-drawn illustrations can look professional in research posters. A polished and creative presentation, well done!

Complementary colors = high contrast + high risk. A 9:1 ratio helps keep things balanced, and desaturation adds depth. See how Ida Bäckström makes the bold blue-orange combo work in their poster.

Color harmony isn't just about picking a palette; it's about balance, function, and contrast. This summer, we're sharing a weekly series featuring real examples from scientific posters. Follow along for practical color tips to elevate your visuals.

Today's featured poster comes from Alejandro Penacho Riveiros at KTH Royal Institute of Technology.

This work demonstrates exceptional clarity and design, with visually engaging elements and well-structured data presentation. The color-coded graphs make the results easy to interpret.

The conference season is here! Posters are powerful tools for sharing research, but clutter and visual noise can bury your message. A clean and focused poster will give a more engaged audience.

We welcome Veronica Barrajon Santos from ‪@univie.ac.at to our poster wall today!
This poster is quite different from the usual research poster and is sure to grab the attention of anyone walking by it. The infographic style is brilliantly used to engage and explain the research.

How do you create a poster explaining one of the biggest particle physics experiments in the world? Ask Renske Wierda from KTH Royal Institute of Technology, who made this stunning poster describing the ATLAS experiment at CERN.

Amazing job, Renske!
