Guide to digital scientific artwork



A 2-days practical course for PhD students, post-docs and staff, focusing on technical aspects of scientific illustration acquisition, processing and publishing for research journals, presentations and web sites.

See the details for dates and specific subjects.
After a general introduction on image properties, file types, resolution, sharpness and colour models, the student will be guided through the main steps of image processing and improvement. Finally, the tutors will guide you through the most important settings and parameters for producing Acrobat pdf documents of a thesis, a manual or a research paper.
The course gives examples of basic skills in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat, and Microsoft PowerPoint, using short demonstration films in a Blackboard learning space. The course aims at explaining most important steps needed to produce error-free artwork rather than providing a complete reference for DTP programmes. The course includes a CD-ROM with background information, access to the Blackboard learning space, and technical assistance during and after the course.

The courses will be held in Jan-Kopshuis, Generaal Foulkesweg 19, Wageningen on
