About This Workshop
As research nowadays is almost exclusively accessed online, an engaging table of contents (TOC) graphic can amplify the attention your scientific article receives. Come to this workshop to learn graphic design basics along with tips and tricks across different platforms. We will start by examining different styles of published TOC graphics and journal cover designs to get some ideas. Then we will explore artistic features within PowerPoint, ChemDraw, and Gimp (a free Adobe Photoshop alternative) through a guided, hands-on approach. Bring your laptops if possible, and come ready to have fun exploring these platforms.
