Poster presentions can be used as a visual aid to a verbal presentation or can stand alone as summary of our investigations and projects. Posters depend on visuals rather than text as a way of distilling information into a quickly grasped overview. Most of our illustration work and techniques are particularly well suited to this format.

Over 30 posters were presented in the courtyard of the 500 year old Évora University. Electronic versions of some of those posters can be accessed below.

		Stopping Webway Robbery: (Full Version) On-line Image Protection in the Digital Age. Four methods for protecting you art on-line. By Britt Griswold

		Landform Field Sketching (Full Version) Sketching in nature provides to the cartographer an introduction to the genesis and morphology of landforms, improves observation and graphic judgment, and develops the cartographers' artistic sense for mapmaking. By Amelia Janes

		Drawing Gynandromorphic Moths (Full Version) A gynandromorph is a non-human animal with both male and female attributes - an hermaphrodite in humans. With lepidopteran gynandromorphs, often only a dorsal view of the adult is illustrated with photographs, showing male wings on one side and female wings on the other. But, sometimes only the genitalia exhibit gynandromorphy, as is the case with this specimen. By Elaine R. Hodges

		More Than 250 Years Drawing Medusae (Full Version) Jellyfish and other gelatinous organisms require skill to recreate their natural shape from preserved material. The advances on in situ observations and photography have improved much this task. Increasing collaboration between scientist and artist results in excellent art, similar to that achieved by early naturalists that linked two fields of knowledge, art and natural sciences. By Jordi Corbera, Francesc Pagès, and Josep Maria Gili

		Drawing at Montseny Natural Park (Full Version) A field project designed to get Spanish illustrators out of their offices and away from the computer. By Jordi Corbera and Carles Puche

		Reconstruction of a Painted Wall of Chauvet Cave (Full Version) This poster illustrates the work of reconstruction, in real dimensions, of a portion of painted wall of the Chauvet cave, and describes the techniques used, the materials, the tools, the coloring methods and the procedures of the pictorial reproduction. By Silvia Battaglini

		The Mushroom Art of Giuseppe Bertini (Full Version) The unpublished art of the painter and lithograph Giuseppe Bertini, artist of an italian mushroom manuscript from the mid-1800's, has been found, researched and is now to be published. By Silvia Battaglini
