Description

In this workshop attendees learn to recognize and appreciate a series of universal design principles that can be used for several tasks, such as enhancing the way a design (any design!) is perceived, help people learning from a design, increase the usability and appeal of a design, and ultimately make better design decisions to create new and to ameliorate existing designs. The principles are put into practice in a series of hands-on contexts, such as chart design, table design, document design, presentation design, etc. The intended audience for this seminar are mostly graduates and beyond, but also advanced undergrads will benefit from it as well. Prerequisites are a functioning brain and a healthy dose of curiosity.
