In the world of visual communications, great stories are only told with greater visuals.

The build up of the content for these stories implies taking the design process through prior essential steps: partnering with a reliable source of data; researching and collating the right information; and, lastly, filtering and categorising the collected content.

Naji El Mir invites his workshops’s participants to discover how designers work with the sought outcomes of the previous steps. Then, together they look at how they shape the presentation through the creative infographics, while demonstrating how the storytelling approach empowers the development of the whole process.

Seats are limited and pre-registration is essential.
