SUMMARY:How to Engage You Audience with Visual Storytelling with Karl Gude
DESCRIPTION:
 In the comic strip Dilbert, Dogbert says, "Information 
 is gushing toward your brain like a 
 fire hose aimed at a teacup!" Nowadays, all of 
 us are drowning in a sea of data. This means 
 that there is a lot of competition for eyeballs. 
 People trying to communicate their messages 
 are doing all they can to find fresh, effective 
 ways to engage and inform inundated audiences. 
 Infographics are powerful tools that, 
 through a careful combination of words and 
 images, grab people's attention and make your 
 message stand out. Infographics are uniquely 
 effective at clarifying and summarizing complex 
 information in all industries-from medicine 
 and science to business and technology-and 
 for all audiences-from policy makers to teenagers. 
 Karl Gude is not only an expert at infographics, 
 he's a passionate and fun teacher.\n
