“Rick and Science Lab Studios is a top tier company to work with! We develop activities for students to use in the classroom, and illustrations and images are key to helping the students learn new content, lingo and even equipment in addition to the process and skills. Working with Rick is fantastic as he has a solid understanding of the science so when starting on a new project with him we are already ahead of the game. Having the science background is critical in developing images that communicate the science correctly, and also makes the process much more efficient. And what's better than our work experience with Rick? Positive teacher feedback and student success!”

What the client needed

MiniOne Systems develops high-quality, affordable molecular biology equipment for biology classrooms. They needed a way to visually explain how to perform the experiments detailed in their educational laboratory kits. They decided that using images would be much more effective at communicating how to correctly perform experimental procedures than words alone.

What we did

Working with the MiniOne team, we were able to gain an understanding of what they wanted to achieve and created illustrated graphical procedures for many of their lab kits. These procedures needed to clearly show every important step in the process so that both teachers and students could perform the experiments and get real results. Here are some images showing the development of a few of the graphic procedures we created.

The final product

We created multi-page graphical procedure manuals for many MiniOne lab kits.
