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. 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.
