CEV illustrations often include visualizations of science data with graphical overlays added for communication needs.

Scientific Illustration is art in service of science. Working with scientists, CEV employs technical and aesthetic skills to accurately portray earth and ocean processes. With the use of 3D perspective, cutaways, and exploded diagrams, CEV can represent structure and detail that allows the viewer to visually discover the inner workings of a given environment.

From complex food webs to detailed ocean observing systems, CEV’s illustrations provide clear, artistic and powerful representations for communicating both science and engineering.
