Concept illustration accompanying article written by Annika Kreikenbohm, an astrophysicist and information designer based in Würzburg, Germany.
The article reviews how data visualization has driven discovery in astronomy and helped communicate new findings to the general public. It was published on Nightingale, the journal of The Data Visualization Society. See the full story here!
My design for the hero image is to show the author as the scientist standing at her home base at “Würzburg, Germany”. The backdrop of the starry sky displays constellations in the form of 2D dataviz, and refocuses on the future via the telescope showcasing VR visuals that scientists are developing.
