What is it about?

A visual review of pictorials published at three key conferences (DIS, C&C, and TEI) between 2014 and 2023. The work offers visual insights into the different strategies which previously have been employed to disseminate research visually. The review is presented under seven analytical themes: 1) composition, 2) typography, 3) colour, 4) drawing attention, 5) visual style, 6) active engagement, and 7) visual related work. The review focuses on strategies for communicating research visually, rather than the content and contribution of the reviewed pictorials.
