• Learn to take complex data and condense information into powerful graphics that spur action resulting in positive economic and social change.

• Leave the session with a flyer, a powerpoint slide or a web graphic.

We’ll review examples from the famous Tufte Book Visualizing Information. We’ll also work with SudoRoom resident mathematicians to show how powerfully data can be visualized and change the course of events. We’ll also learn from lessons made by famous comic book artists such as R. Crumb, Art Spiegelman, matt Groenig and Lynda Barry

Inspiration

We are all smart, opinionated people working towards positive social change. We’d love to draw as many interesting people with smart opinions as possible.
