LIGO poster

LIGO Poster

This is the LIGO poster we made to show at the Essential Cosmology meeting. It's very general because, well, we didn't know what to say to cosmologists about LIGO other than the basics of what it is and how it works. The poster itself was made entirely using Inkscape and then printed by exporting it to PDF and sending it to the amazing T1100 printer. Only a few hours before boarding the airplane, of course. I think the design turned out quite nice, though certainly some of the content could use a 2nd revision.

The source .SVG file, a PDF rendering suitable for printing, and a high-resolution PNG bitmap are available here: https://dcc.ligo.org/cgi-bin/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=31604

That looks fucking awesome. I don't exactly have the background for it, mind, let alone for a more detailed version. But close enough to appreciate the sheer awesomeness and scale of the undertaking (which which I do have prior familiarity, but it's cool to see it from someone who actually works on it.)
