[Reminder] VizThinkU: Drawing and Design w/Karl Gude – Next Week!

Just a quick reminder, Karl Gude’s one-hour, online VizThinkU webinar is next Tuesday, October 27th @ 11am EST.

Karl spent 25 years visualizing information for various large news organizations including The Associated Press and Newsweek magazine. As a visual journalist, information designer and artist, Gude’s mission was to simplify, or “laymanize”, complex topics so that the average reader could understand them. A Director of Information Graphics at Newsweek for nearly a decade, Karl moved to academia three years ago. He now teaches information graphics and visual communication at the School of Journalism at Michigan State University.

Karl also gives frequent lectures on the subject of visualization and has conducted scores of workshops on diagramming, storyboarding, designing, graphing and mapping around the world and is a consultant for the CIA on visualization.

See some examples of Karl’s work, as well as a complete session description below:

“Drawing and Design” w/Karl Gude

October 27, 2009 | 11am EST (15:00 GMT) | Online | $59/person (Save $10 w/Mailing List Subscription!)

Consistently rated as one of the favorite facilitators for our conferences and workshops, Karl Gude is back with an all-new workshop for VizThinkU called “Drawing & Design”.

Often, concepts need to be sketched out so that others can “see” what is in a person’s head, and this requires confidence in one’s ability to do so. Most people are visual learners who can more easily understand highly complicated concepts when they are drawn out as opposed to only being written about, but people can worry that their visualization skills are no match for the task at hand, and so they write…and write, and write.

Visualizing information can require skills in many areas —critical thinking, conceptualization, presentation, drawing, design, technology, etc.— and in this one hour-long workshop, Karl will teach you the two “D’s” of visual communication, drawing and design. This lesson will benefit all skill levels, but it will be especially useful if you are a beginner. Karl will give you simple visual tools and rules that anyone can use to sketch out your ideas and then package them all together.

Be sure to join us for what will be an educational and entertaining workshop…
