Design and production of a training course for ComSciCon-Qc: providing students with basic scientific computer graphics skills

Educational design

We have developed a structured training program tailored to the needs of participants, focusing on key concepts and best practices in infographic creation. For example:

1. Simplification: Infographics must simplify and condense complex information into clear, concise visual elements. We've explained how to identify the key points to convey and present them concisely.
2. Visual hierarchy: We've shown the importance of creating a clear visual hierarchy, using elements such as size, color and layout (including alignment) to guide the reader's eye and highlight the most important information.
3. Using graphs and icons: We presented various forms of graphs and icons that can be used to visually represent data and concepts.
4. Visual balance: We discussed the importance of visual balance in computer graphics, making judicious use of space, color and visual elements to create a harmonious and attractive composition.

Graphic design

We used our expertise in graphic design to create attractive and informative visuals that illustrate the principles of computer graphics.

1. Structuring the information: We organized the data in a logical and coherent way, identifying the key points to highlight.
2. Visual design: We used graphic design principles to make the training material attractive and easy to understand. This included the use of harmonious colors, appropriate typography, diagrams and icons to illustrate information.

Animation and facilitation

We delivered the training in an interactive way, encouraging participants to actively take part, ask questions and exchange ideas.
