Social Interpretation: Graphic Design and Social Media

April 29-30, 2013

Cave Creek, Arizona (near Phoenix)
Desert Foothills Library
38443 North Schoolhouse Road, Cave Creek, AZ

This workshop is designed for interpreters who have little or no training in graphic design or social media, but find themselves responsible for creating nonpersonal media.

Interpreters use visual media like exhibits, brochures, publications, and social media like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and more to tell their stories. "Social Interpretation" focuses on using basic principles of both graphic design and interpretation in nonpersonal media. By the end of the workshop, you should have a good understanding of how to make decisions about type, color, composition, and online communication as well as why an interpretive approach is an effective to communicate with your audience through these media.

Logistics

The workshop will be held at the Desert Foothills Library, 38443 North Schoolhouse Road, 8:30am-5:00pm each day.

There is no specific host hotel. However, there are a number of hotels in Cave Creek near the library, including several within walking distance. You can see nearby hotels on Google Maps or Trip Advisor. (Friendly new media reminder: Read the consumer reviews!)
