This is an over-sized timeline that I created for a free, immunology symposium in Seattle in Fall of 2010. I took care to incorporate the lessons learned from my many Edward Tufte seminars over the years.
Note the minimal use of lines, the simple colors, and the very basic information, suitable for conveying (to lay audiences) the history of the ITN.
I am quite happy with this timeline. It is a vast improvement over earlier works and, considering I had little more than a few weeks to design and print, turned out nice.
