An interactive session on elements and principles of poster design. Additionally, we'll be looking at different formats and the reasons you might chose one or the other, from the standard paper-on-a-page to emerging formats including visual abstracts that focus on networking or quickly spreading ideas. This session will focus on design strategies for scientific conference posters, but these strategies are applicable for other disciplines as well.

You have a presentation coming up. You’ve dusted up your talking points and rehearsed what you’re going to say. But you’re concerned about the visual aid for your presentation—does it look good? Will it convey your message? Maybe it’s a slide deck. Maybe it’s a poster. Maybe it’s a physical object, or writing on a whiteboard. Maybe you haven’t even decided if you’re going to have a visual aid at all.

Location: Africana Center

How we organize (or don’t) the various media we collect can help to either facilitate or obscure connection. In this workshop we’ll start by looking at Homosaurus, an international LGBTQ+ vocabulary to enhance discoverability of LGBTQ+ resources, as an example for making connections and worlds visible. We’ll introduce best practices for file management, then focus specifically on organizing images using two different applications (Tropy and Adobe Bridge) for researchers and photographers.

This workshop moves beyond the basics of Zotero. In this workshop you will learn to...

Need a brain break? Come meditate on shape, color, and pattern using basic graphic design tools (no prior experience needed). At the end of our time we’ll print out designs to make into buttons!

Registration optional.

Need a brain break? Come learn how to animate in Adobe After Effects using shapes and found images. At the end of our time we’ll compile everyone’s animation into one video to create a collaborative loop. No prior experience required.
