Visualization Information Workshop Registrations
April 2, 2008 – 2:36 amJust a reminder that we have two very interesting workshops coming up:
Friday, May 02, 2008 - New York
Wednesday, May 07, 2008 - Chicago
Here’s a description of the upcoming sessions:
Visualizing Information: A one-day workshop with Karl Gude and Dave Gray
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.

One Response to “Visualization Information Workshop Registrations”
Hi - Interested in the Chicago workshop. My use of visual information in the Louisville area is hand-drawn and intended to be comfortable for all types and levels of learners and is used primarily in grassroots and community settings. I am interested in knowing more about materials, about the use of digital reproductions of the drawings, and copyrights, and so on. Will the workshops cover some of the above? Also I am not a graphic artist and have only rudimentary techno skills. Will I be lost? Thanks so much. Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks. Luckett
PS - Wish I’d seen your request for visualization for learning research earlier - just spotted it today.
