Illustrating Science Exhibit
This exhibit - on the design process involved in illustrating science concepts - was held to celebrate the opening of the Iridescent-ONR NY STEM Design Studio.
Guest visitors included the US Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, ONR Admiral Nevin P. Carr, and NY Congressman Jose Serrano.
Each panel depicts the design development process of the following science and engineering,
educational T-shirts and posters designed by Ioana:
- · Reynolds number and animal locomotion (T-shirt and poster)
- · Electricity (T-shirt)
- · Wind energy (T-shirt and poster)
- · MRI (T-shirt)

This was an invitation for the public to understand the number of thoughtful decisions that go into creating a beautiful science concepts graphic.
How does one conduct research and translate complex, yet abstract, ideas into effective images, within a limited space (particularly on a T-shirt),
and with a limited number of colors (more T-shirt screens/colors mean higher cost)?
