Company: Michigan State University
Session Title: How to Communicate Visually

Date: Sunday, February 22, 2009
Time: 9am - 5pm
Room: Garden

Description

What information can be better understood visually? And what is the best way to display that information: in narrative or diagrammatic form? map based? charts and graphs? How can I package multiple elements together effectively so that I don't confuse people out of their minds?

Karl Gude, the former Graphics Director at Newsweek magazine and The Associated Press who is now an instructor at Michigan State University's School of Journalism, will help you answer these questions and many more.

His energy-filled hands-on workshop will explore ways to maximize efforts at visualizing data and other content. Come prepared to design, sketch and draw, (especially if it's not something you're comfortable with!) The lessons learned during this informal and fun two days can be applied to solve any number of visualization challenges.
