Visualizing Information for Advocacy: An Introduction to Information Design
Modern life is saturated with ever increasing amounts of information, advertising and media with little time to digest what is being said. Against this background, NGOs and advocates too often find the information they want to communicate, either buried in long reports full of professional jargon and statistics, or overlooked in an endless stream of media releases.
Visualizing Information for Advocacy: An Introduction to Information Design is a booklet aimed at helping NGOs and advocates strengthen their campaigns and projects through communicating vital information visually and with greater impact. This booklet aims to raise awareness, introduce concepts, and promote good practice in information design – a powerful tool for advocacy, outreach, research, organization and education.
The PDF of the booklet can be downloaded at http://www.tacticaltech.org/infodesign. A hard copy is also available for order at the same address. Languages: English available now, Russian to be released October 2008. Workshops available from 2009.
