Do you wish you had a guidebook on how to make your social media, white paper, diagrams, or presentations look more polished? This session will walk you through the psychology of graphic design and the graphic design principles that everyone can implement. Learn what graphs are easiest for people to comprehend and learn how to use this to your advantage. Practice putting your design skills to the test and learn some insider tips from a graphic designer-turned-science-communicator to make your presentation shine. Then once you've learned you shouldn't have too much text on a slide, and you should include visuals, you're ready to start making better slides in PowerPoint. However, many of us still struggle to apply those principles when it comes to our own presentation. With hands-on activities, you will learn how to apply theories and techniques to your slides.
