LYRASIS 2nd Friday - Graphic Design for Non-Designers: Design and Branding for Libraries and Cultural Heritage Institutions

It is likely that in your work or personal life, you have been asked to create some communication on paper, on-screen, or in some visual presentation. One problem with this is that the only tools that you are given to complete the task are ones like Microsoft Word or PowerPoint or Publisher, which are not dedicated design tools, but rather fill-in-the-blank approaches to design, where your creativity is limited to what the application provides in a pre-packaged way. Another issue is that in our society, we are typically taught reading, writing, and mathematics, but seldom taught even the most basic visual communication concepts.

In this 1.5 hour overview, John LeMasney, Manager of Educational Technology Training at Princeton University, will offer an overview of the foundation of design principles, free tools for design and illustration, and the basics of branding and visual communication that will lead to creating more effective visual messages.
