Visualizing Impact

Work by

My team is a big fan of infographics, and who can blame us?  They make just about any topic more understandable and also serve as great expression of graphic design chops. Plus, they are just fun to look at. So we thought it might not be a terrible idea to turn one of our staid, numbers-heavy event wrap up reports into an infographic of our very own. The recent Spring 2012 Forum at Berks seemed like the prime candidate and – with the help of both Lauren and Carla – I turned this around in a little over a day of planning and tinkering in Illustrator and Photoshop:

I think there’s the potential for this to expand to cover even more Media Commons events as well as our semester reports and wrap ups.

MC Forum 2012 at Berks

Carla Rapp, my Eastern campuses colleague, just did a remarkable job of pulling off the 2012 installment of Media Commons’ Spring Forum.  Held at Berks, the event brought together faculty, staff and even a student or two from the region in order to have a dialogue about the state of technologies in the classroom.  The Gaige building was an awesome venue:  having just been completed this past semester, it features a lot of the latest innovations in space planning, learning furniture and classroom technology.  A great spot, for sure, to talk about the kinds of topics MC holds dear.

Here are the photos from the event.  You can read more about it in Carla’s wrap up post, too!
