Hello! I'm R. D. Mathison.
You can call me Bob.
A fusion of creativity and scientific acumen, I specialize in translating complex concepts into visually compelling narratives. With extensive experience spanning graphic design, illustration, web design, motion graphics, and videography, I’m committed to creating meaningful designs that resonate, educate, and inspire. My interdisciplinary background in Graphic Information Technology and Space Studies, along with experience teaching high school English and science, uniquely positions me at the intersection of art, science, and education, ready to tackle innovative projects with precision and passion.
My background in science influences my work as a designer in several ways.
ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND ACCURACY
My astronomy education taught me the importance of meticulous attention to detail and precision, traits that are invaluable in graphic design. This discipline has led to my development of more thoughtful, precise designs where every element is carefully considered for its visual impact and meaning.
DATA VISUALIZATION SKILLS
My experience in astronomy involved interpreting and presenting complex data. I leverage these skills in graphic design to create compelling, informative visualizations, making complex information accessible and engaging to a broader audience.
CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING
The realms of science and design both require creative problem-solving. My scientific training aids me in methodically approaching design challenges, thinking outside the box, and finding innovative solutions.
UNDERSTANDING AUDIENCE AND CONTEXT
Just as in science, understanding the audience is crucial in design. My background gives me an edge in creating designs that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also contextually relevant and informative.
INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH
My work is a blend of science and art, leading to a more holistic and interdisciplinary approach to design. This allows me to create work that is not only visually stunning but also intellectually stimulating.
My unique blend of scientific knowledge and artistic skills makes my work as a graphic designer stand out, offering a combination of aesthetic appeal, and intellectual depth.
