AN EYE FOR DESIGN: A GRADUATE STUDENT PERSPECTIVE ON THE BENEFITS OF COMMUNICATION ARTS TRAINING
Within the scientific community, increasing emphasis is being placed on the importance of broad communication training. Visual communication techniques may be particularly valuable to the next generation of freshwater scientists as they seek to first engage, then educate broad audiences. Unfortunately, opportunities to acquire such training through structured coursework are uncommon. Here, we present some outcomes from a three-credit class in communication arts training, from the perspective of a graduate student. Specifically, we showcase lessons learned and skills acquired through an infographic data visualization course that is offered through a collaboration between the Center for Environmental Studies and the Department of Communication Arts at Virginia Commonwealth University. Examples of graduate student work will provide some context for the level of technical skill that can be acquired in a single semester. Furthermore, we will discuss how practicing design principles can translate to a deeper understanding of one’s own research, through deliberate consideration of how their work is perceived by target audiences.
