Abstract:
When we’re capable to visually communicate the impact of social issues, we give voice to the voiceless and drive progress. Using Information Design as a tool to empower communities to be informed and take action on pressing social issues, this talk aims to provide a guide for designers and non-designers alike on how information design can be used to raise awareness, inspire action, and drive change in communities.
