MCF34 -The art of storytelling through infographics
Who it is for
This workshop is designed for anyone in medical writing who wants to improve their skills in visual communication using infographics. No previous knowledge or workshop is required, some experience in design would be helpful but is not essential.
What it covers
All the software will be given during the workshop so there’s no need to buy any license as we will work with free tools.
This workshop will cover the process from the storytelling to the design of the infographic to effectively deliver the message. In the beginning, we will
introduce concepts to define the audience and the goal. When the idea and message are clear, we will start with the design of the infographic layout, placing the different elements correctly; in this part, we will introduce design concepts, the idea of
repetition, hierarchy, colour, and balance. We will use different free tools for design and illustration. The main goal of this workshop is to understand the process of
building an infographic as a layer system. First, the message and the layout,
disposition of the different concepts or topics we want to deliver; followed by finding the colours, fonts, and proper illustrations. We will also discuss resolution and different formats (RGB, CMYK) depending on the use of the infographic.
