Subversive Minds

A rousing discussion at Indigo Bridge Books in Lincoln on Art and Social Movements. For my part, I’m presenting for 20 minutes on using design principles to foster activism and social change. We’ll look at design work for a campaign to stop a pipeline, a brand for a nonprofit arts organization, a new take on an old classic, and a host of random projects done for things I care about. Joining the discussion will be folks from The Nebraska AIDS Project and SP CE, a Lincoln-based grassroots literature and arts collective.

Why Infographics Are Key

At a PRSA Luncheon, a presentation on the importance of infographics in the stories creative professionals tell every day. What makes a good infographic. What makes a bad one. The process I’ve used for projects as well as some of my favorites from around the Web. And what resources to use when trying to craft a relevant, interesting and shareable piece of information.
