Research Yearbook Editorial Illustrations
Clarifying complex research through editorial and technical illustration.
Editorial illustrations were produced for an annual hardback university research yearbook, translating abstract and technical research into accessible visual narratives for a premium, client-facing publication.
The illustrations serve as visual entry points alongside dense academic text, enhancing readability, unifying diverse topics, and establishing a consistent editorial tone appropriate for a coffee-table format.
Each edition is structured around a distinct annual visual system, varying colour, viewpoint, and metaphor while retaining core editorial principles. This approach provides each yearbook with a clear identity and has resulted in widespread reuse across research communication and marketing materials.
UAS Radar Systems - Visualising dual-channel radar concepts to communicate target detection and tracking in complex environments.
Firearms Traceability - Visualising forensic identification methods to communicate how illicit firearms are traced and investigated.
Estimating Time Since Death - Visualising probabilistic forensic models to communicate uncertainty in post-mortem interval estimation.
