The process

Once you have conducted your research, organized the data, analyzedthe data, then you can begin the visual design process:

• Understand the goals for the design

• Sketch a variety of concepts and layouts

• Simplify, simplify, simplify

• Use your graphic design skills

• Color - Composition - Type - Image - Medium

The process

Think about:• How can you use color to illustrate information?• How can you use composition to clarify the information?• How can typography be used to simplify and clarify the

information?• What imagery will help viewers understand and

remember the information?• Which medium should be used to convey the

information?
