Infographics have captured our minds and imaginations as we are increasingly exposed to facts, data, and visual traffic. As they have done over the centuries under various guises, today's infographics help us distill information, provide additional analysis, reveal patterns, and facilitate comparisons. They communicate what words and numbers can't easily do alone. This workshop will introduce you to what it takes to build a compelling infographic. We will review the basic resources for knowledge and inspiration like websites, books, and online lectures; explore tools such as charts, timelines, and maps; discuss principals of design such as heiarchy of information, color, and size. We will analyze a scenario and its data sets, and sketch out thematic ideas in small groups. Participants from all walks of life are welcome!

Note: This workshop is limited to 15 people, first-come, first-serve.
