Next Meeting. Don't forget!

Thursday July 10th, 2008
7:00pm to 9:00pm
Location to be Determined
Presentation:

“See What I Mean?”

We all work with information. In our web sites. Our web apps. Print communications. Graphs, and charts. But how exactly do you present information in a way that simplifies the complex, communicates powerfully, and actually delights people?

Join us, as Travis Isaacs and Stephen P. Anderson share their information design secrets. From travel plans to search results to quarterly earnings statements—they’ll present a handful of information design and data visualization case studies, identifying those principles we can apply to just about any project.

Learn how to identify and group related information, create a visual hierarchy, draw focus to the most important content, use images appropriately, see familiar data in a fresh new way, and much more!

Here’s the Rundown

Come early (7:00) to mingle with like-minded designers and developers and then soak in a fresh presentation (7:30).

Free Pizza & Drinks

We’ll provide the pizza and drinks (thanks to Viewzi) if you provide the questions and conversation.
