In this presentation, you'll learn about the power and impact visuals can have on an audience. We'll discuss the importance of design and how it is much more than decoration. We'll also explore:

How graphics express a message more succinctly than words
How to speed up a visual message
How to make visuals cognitively efficient
How to persuade and engage with emotional imagery
How to select, conceive or design the most effective abstract graphics for the variety of learning experiences you encounter

This session is for anyone who conceives, designs and creates graphics in a learning context, including their supervisors. If you'd like a review and analysis of your graphics, please send them ahead of time to conniemalamed.com.
