What the Plork? 2024
It's been a while since I've written on the blog, mainly because I've had my head down getting on with a first draft of the PhD thesis. However, something else I've been working on has been a new conference poster for the 2024 edition of the ECA PhD Showcase. The goal is to take a playful approach to the conference poster; it's not that I have anything against them generally, but as a designer I'm often disgruntled by what appears to be a desire to put as much information and data on conference posters as is possible, rather than using design as a way of portraying some of the content of vibe of the research. As such, this year's poster is a mix of joyful, wonky chaos and academic explanation - and not a single graph. Is it even an academic poster without a graph?
