Visualizing Information Workshops Print

With Dave Gray & Karl Gude

Are you a visual thinker?  Do you want to hone your visual thinking skills?  Do you want to learn from some of the best in our industry?  Then the Visualizing Information Workshop is for you!  VizThink is offering a series of one-day workshops all around the United States.  These workshops will help you improve your visual thinking skills.

New dates & locations will be announced soon!

Dave and Karl Our first workshop series will be run by Dave Gray and Karl Gude. Apparently separated at birth (as seen in the picture to the right), together they will show you how to visualize your ideas so you can think and communicate with greater clarity and effectiveness. Working individually and in small teams, you will learn and practice visualization techniques that have been successfully used to improve innovation and accelerate change at some of the world's leading companies. After completing this workshop you will have a toolkit for thinking and presentation effectiveness -- your presentations of complex information and strategies will never be the same.

Workshop Description

Participants will learn how visual thinking can be used to explore complex information and present it more effectively. This workshop combines high-level design principles with practical applications-–rules of thumb and "tricks of the trade"--that professional information designers use to quickly create clear representations from complex or potentially confusing information.

Participants will learn through a series of hands-on exercises, designed to develop their analytical, design and visual thinking abilities.  Workshop facilitators Karl Gude and Dave Gray have, collectively, more than 50 years of practical, hands-on experience, creating visual explanations for national news media and multinational corporations.

Topics covered include:

  • Introduction to visual language and visual literacy
  • Strategies of information design
  • Primary methods for organizing both qualitative and quantitative information
  • Professional tips and tricks

Your presentations don't have to be dull and ridden with bullet points. After this workshop you will understand how to explore, organize and visually display information of all kinds, from complex data sets to visual instruction manuals.
