Writing with Pictures: The Power of Visual Communication
Sold out
Nothing communicates faster and more memorably than images. Learn from a comics master how images can transmit ideas, stories, and information with force and precision. Cartoonist Scott McCloud (Google's choice to explain the inner workings of their Chrome browser through comics!) will get you drawing and THINKING about how we learn and are persuaded through pictures just as successfully as through words, and how techniques from the graphic arts world can be applied in interaction design and usability.
Who it's for:
Anyone with a visual design background and an interest in visual communication. No drawing experience required.
What they'll learn.
Word-image integration, amplification through simplification, visual storytelling, impoving your "cognitive load time," conveying complex ideas visually.
