[Conference] Pre-Conference Workshop with Karl Gude

We’re very excited to announce that Karl Gude, industry expert and guru, will be conducting a pre-conference workshop entitled “How to Communicate Visually” at VizThink ’09.  This very special workshop will run on Sunday, February 22, 2009 from 9am – 5pm. 

During this workshop, participants will learn 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 a visual package multiple elements together effectively?

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!) By exploring news graphics, the lessons learned during this informal and fun day can be applied to solve any number of visualization challenges.
