I’ll be at today’s OSD call to show the comics!
Specifically, I would like to talk about the comics distributed at last month at SciPy! (a conference about “Scientific Python”: the programming language Python, specifically open source projects in science, math and research)
Here’s a link to a digital, flip-able version of the comic!
We distributed 300 print copies to 500 in-person conference attendees and a digital version as well!
I can also share a 3 minute slide deck of my experience!
- Tabled and handed out the comics for 3 days
- Gave a 5 minute Lightning Talk focused on the power of design, story and comics. That these technical problems always have a human core
- Joined the conference Sprint events by hosting our own sprint: Add alt text to Scientific Python projects!
The comics and sprints were hosted on Github, the preferred medium for these developers and researchers.
I can also talk about my process
- proposing design work in a tech company
- translating technical ideas into visual metaphors
- representing disability and accessibility
- inviting and explaining the design process to developers, Marketing and Management
If anyone would like to see the early sketches and script, here’s a Google Doc about it.
If there’s time, there’s some broader ideas I’ve been chewing on and would like to hear from others
