academic-illustration-assets

Assets for creating illustrative figures (and video figures) released under CC0 (public domain)

Background

I have published several papers in the computer graphics and human-computer interaction domains. For creating the figures, video figures, and presentation slides of those papers, I repeatedly reused several common assets (such as pointer.ai for illustrating GUI interactions). However, every time I tried to do this, I needed to salvage those assets from old projects.

Goal

The goal of this repository is to improve the reusability of my assets for accelerating future projects.
