Illustrating a Science Figure: Process

July 1, 2020

I have a (dream) job this week, and that is to make a map/figure of Antarctica for a polar scientist. I’m using Adobe Illustrator (and Photoshop).

Pretty excited about my work today. I get to make a map/figure of Antarctica for a polar scientist. Dream job!

Check out the REMA (Reference Elevation Model of Antarctica) map. It’s super cool.

I’ve added some gradation in the land (more to come) and some labels. Still need to add lats/longs.

But that’s as far as I can take you on this process journey, alas! Time to move on to the map’s purpose—the confidential-until-published stuff! pic.twitter.com/rTpjeoO5Yq

Doing this work makes me feel happy and fulfilled.
