Creative Portfolio: Information Graphics/Symbols
It seems that everyone these days suffers from “information anxiety,” not only in the amount of information that’s available but also in how to interpret that information so that it’s useful rather than detrimental. In this tutorial, Linda presents varying perspectives on information design, the role that graphic designers play in presenting visual information, and suggests a project that will round out your portfolio and that will help you visualize quantitative and qualitative information.
Linda Goin
Linda Goin carries an A.A. in graphic design, a B.F.A. in visual communications with a minor in business and marketing and an M.A. in American History with a minor in the Reformation. While the latter degree doesn't seem to fit with the first two educational experiences, Linda used her 25-year design expertise on archaeological digs and in the study of material culture. Now she uses her education and experiences in social media experiments.
Accolades for her work include fifteen first-place Colorado Press Association awards, numerous fine art and graphic design awards, and interviews about content development with The Wall St. Journal, Chicago Tribune, Psychology Today, and L.A. Times.
