OVERVIEW

In this workshop, students will be introduced to the design and creation of visual summaries of the information contained within an abstract.

Students will learn how to:

• Apply basic design principles to create a proper visual abstract
• Use visual thinking to give structure and hierarchy to the data and information you want to present
• Explore the different tools and strategies to create and use visual summaries
