Scientific illustrations are a great way to communicate complicated, multidimensional concepts in a single eye-catching figure. Yet many researchers don’t know where to start drafting a conceptual figure–and resort to familiar, but limited, tools like Powerpoint. In this interactive workshop, we cover the basics of designing vector graphics with Affinity—a low cost, fully functional graphic design software. The workshop will begin with an introduction to figure making and a tour of basic Affinity functions. Then, participants will rework a default ggplot output into a publication worthy figure. - Figure: Download
