FORMAT

These fun, one-day (6 hours + breaks) introductory-level seminars are hosted online on Zoom with around 50-100 participants.

They are a mix of lecture & hands-on exercises with plenty of discussion.

David will present live, screen-share high quality visuals (naturally!) to explain creative processes which lead 'beyond the bar chart'

The concept-driven approach is tool-agnostic and can be used for many outputs: presentations, editorial, interactives, data-stories, apps, marketing materials, science communication etc.

Any experience level is welcome. Attendees will break into virtual breakout rooms to do creative exercises, alongside solo work.

Discounts are available for students, self-employed, health workers, furloughed, veterans, disabled and others.
