Anyone can improve the design and usability of a journalistic project (from a basic story page to an interactive graphic) with a few simple fixes. Even if you have zero experience in design and concepts like \" alignment\" and \"responsiveness\" seem like technical jargon, this session is for you. We'll go through our favorite design rules of thumb, covering everything from typography to interaction to accessibility, and apply them to real-life examples in the news and beyond. We\u2019ll also cover: Thinking like a user Designing for inclusiveness Ambiguity in design How and when to break the rules By the end of this workshop, you'll be able to recognize poor designs and identify how to fix them, and you\u2019ll be on your way to creating your own designs with better organization, unity and clarity.
