I recently produced a series of highly graphical and visually designed PCBs called Circuit Classics. In doing so, I learned or developed various techniques for creating very heavily visually designed circuits boards, which I would like to share. For example, I will go into depth on how to put graphical designs onto PCBs using EAGLE. I will discuss how to think about visual design and circuit boards. And I will talk about what it takes to make custom/beautiful soldermask colors.
Star Simpson is an electronics designer. Her greatest joy is designing objects and tools that are useful to others, and which inspire and delight. Her previous work includes research on robotics, work in drones, and a card-sized electrical reference circuit board (for electronics company Octopart) now carried in the wallets of electrical engineers everywhere. Her most recent work is Circuit Classics, a revival vintage electronics hardware brand.
