Visual Index: Week 5

This photo montage incorporates the photographic work of Felice Frankel to introduce week 5 of her online MIT course, “Making Science and Engineering Pictures: A Practical Guide to Presenting Your Work”.

The challenge to this design laid in how to represent forty individual works of visual genius that have graced various book covers and major scientific journals into as one cohesive visual conglomerate, while still honoring the visual integrity of each individual image with equal footing. The process involved first extrapolating the most interesting and/or poignant section of each image to highlight and then creating a clipping mask to homogenize the shape of each image. The next step lay in synchronizing the images. Color was selected as the commonality forming a relationship among the images. After organizing each image by color, the images were assembled in spectral order to form a color gradation, beginning with violet tones with metallic characteristics on the upper, left, and moving in a diagonal direction to the left, bottom corner of the page.
