Please join the Northeast Ohio STC community for its April 18th, 2009 professional development workshop featuring Geoff Hart.
Seminar Topic: Information Design
Information design provides important insights into our audiences and how they understand text and images. This understanding reveals powerful ways to combine words and graphics so that they communicate both efficiently and effectively. In this introductory workshop, you'll learn the basic concepts of how people read, view, and use the information we create -- and through hands-on exercises, you'll see how you can put that theory to work in your own projects.
