science presentation

The presentation of science is our speciality. Many designers lack confidence in this area and therefore resort to decoration rather than interpretation of client's stories.

At grassdance we have years of experience in making scientific concepts accesible to the general public via popular science books. And more recently producing presentations for science start-up companies.

Until the designer challenged the preconceptions of the scientists who authored this book and drew out the reasons this subject would apeal to a wider audience, the routes that birds travelled were to be shown as lines on a map.

The adventure stories behind the lines were only revealed during the design process.

This poster for the oil industry had the capacity to directly comunicate the size of the structures involved. When printed on paper 850mm square cross-sections of the enormous pipes were reproduced at life size.
