PHOTOGRAPHIC RESOURCES

PUBLIC PERCEPTIONS OF NEW ZEALAND’S ENVIRONMENT
Services Areas: Photographic Resources, Science Communication

Following completion of their biennial public perceptions surveys, Lincoln University has been commissioning EOS Ecology to design and produce compelling documents of the results since 2004.

With a target audience of managers and government department heads with little time to spare, the team at EOS worked on creating an intelligent and attractive design with a strong use of imagery. Using our own photographic resources, the design team at EOS employ photographs and concise captions to summarise the key findings and significant points within each chapter. Design of the survey booklets and posters summarising results are also key components of the project. Watch out for the latest survey book due out in 2011.

METALS CONCENTRATIONS IN FISH AND SHELLFISH OF THE AVON-HEATHCOTE ESTUARY/IHUTAI AND RIVERS
Services Areas: Photographic Resources, Science Communication, Original Artwork

Engaged by Environment Canterbury to monitor the heavy metal toxicity in fish and shellfish of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary/Ihutai on a biennial basis, EOS Ecology then produces a report on the study for the general public.

As the animals studied in this programme were not all easily recognised, the EOS team used a specialist photography setup to take photographs of live specimens in natural settings. With a focus on keeping the text simple yet scientifically accurate, our designers used photographs alongside maps and graphs to portray the key results from the study.
