Build on the lessons of Plain Language 101 by diving deeper into the visual presentation of your documents. We live in a visual world, but you don't need to be a graphic designer to master these techniques. This course will cover design and layout to organize and structure your content. We’ll also discuss best practices for integrating words and images across multiple types of content and software and tools you can use to support your work. Then we’ll transition into pulling it all together: how to use the tools from both sessions to review and revise your products and how to begin building a culture of plain language in your team or your organization.
At the end of this hands-on course, you'll be able to integrate your words and images into effective communications and share your takeaways with others.
