Getting heavy with gravitational waves

15/3/2017

The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) wanted a couple of posters celebrating the landmark detection of Gravitational Waves to display at the annual meeting of the American Association of the Advancement of Science (AAAS)… and I was more than happy to oblige.

I had written several articles on gravitational wave detection (for MetroCosm, Astronomy Now Magazine and for the STFC), so, being already up to speed with the subject, I did the research for this one myself.

I always find that having complete autonomy on the creation of an infographic (research, writing and illustration) to be most satisfying way of working (with the information vetted by proper scientist-type experts afterwards, of course). Fortunately, barring a few tweaks correcting my interpretation of wave directionality, few changes were required and the posters went on a jolly old adventure to Boston, MA… sadly, I didn’t get to go with them.

Infographics are an incredibly powerful tool for communicating complex ideas to customers, the public, or to policy makers.
So, if you think your company, institution... or perhaps evil empire... would benefit from Ben's infographics why not get in touch to discuss your needs?
