It’s nice when people spread the news of good work:
This got sent my way on the twittersphere (hat tip to Meghan Duffy) because it is a very nice looking poster.
The designers’ names are on the poster, up at the top under the title, which is great to see.
I know from some people working with illustrators that the people making those graphics often significantly help bring clarity on the conceptual side, too. Good designers are often colleagues, and should be given that level of credit, not just down in the “Acknowledgements” fine print.
Graphic design work is hard work.
Emily Jones, grad student at University of Dayton, presented a poster on her field work plan for exotic species interactions in a Texas coastal prairie.

Her stunning poster was co-designed with an undergrad graphic artist as part of a class. How cool!But several people (including Andrea Kirkwood and Hannah Brazeau) mentioned that if the design is noteworthy enough to mention, maybe throw in the names of the students doing that design, too?
