graphic design & illustration projects

Gill has worked closely with scientists to help them create effective and adaptable figures, graphical abstracts and other forms of visual communication. Gill’s background in science means that she understands the constraints and conventions surrounding scientific visual communication. She also ensures that she understands the specific scientific visual language being used, so that she can provide informed advice. Rather than simply creating a single image file or pdf, whenever possible Gill has provided scientists with a set of visual elements (in the form of high resolution jpeg files) that they can then adapt for further use in their research work.

During her collaboration with the Centre for Neuroimaging Sciences at King’s College London, Gill created many illustrations for use by scientists in the visual communication of their research. You can view these illustrations in an Image Gallery on the collaboration website, Neuroscience & Graphic Design. From there, research scientists can request to use any of the images in their own work, under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 international licence.

Research projects

Graphic design practice formed a significant part of Gill’s PhD research and she continues to use graphic design and illustration as part of her ongoing visual research. Click on the links below to discover more about Gill’s use of graphic design practice within her research.
