Information Design: Create a Data-Driven Campaign in Figma

All designers are information designers! The world is full of information and it’s a designer’s job to make sense of it, organize it, and help others understand it in a more accessible and enjoyable way.

The essential skills used to organize and visualize information are extremely universal and can be implemented across ALL fields of design to improve the way we understand the world.

In this class, I'll teach you skills to become a better designer and visual storyteller. You'll learn how to:

- Give form to content - Use imagery to tell a story - Practice empathy for users - Create a well-rounded personal project for your design portfolio

You will practice your information design skills by:

- Turning research into sketches, using complex problem solving skills - Building a concise group of information designs, using a visual system of graphics, color, symbols, typography, charts, etc. - Designing a web page and social media post design in a data-driven campaign project that gives you a taste of how you can use your skills in the real world - Working in Figma for graphic and web design, using new technical skills and design processes

This class is for all creatives with any level of experience, from beginner to advanced, who want to improve their visual storytelling skills. We’ll work in Figma, which is a growing design tool that’s easy and free to use!

During this class, I will help you get inspired to create effective information designs by providing an introduction to information design, walking you through tangible steps of the design process, and demonstrating how to produce a robust design project.

By the end of this class, you will have an excellent information design project that will demonstrate your problem solving and communications skills across graphic, web, and digital design.

Let’s have fun visualizing information and start designing!
