Attend the “Liberate Your Inner Designer” workshop on Thursday, April 12, 2012, from 1-4pm at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel at Park Place. (1500 Park Place Blvd., Minneapolis, Minnesota 55416—across the freeway from the Met).

When you communicate with graphics, your training is more effective. But you may feel stuck or lack confidence when it comes to graphic design skills. If you feel your graphics are inferior to what they could be, then you’ll want to attend this workshop to liberate your inner designer.

You’ll learn how designers use visual language to bring ideas to life. We’ll cover creativity, layout, imagery, color, fonts, and alternatives to bullet points. We’ll also do a slide makeover, so send in sample slides that you’d like to see redone.

The workshop will answer these questions:

• How can I come up with more creative ideas?
• Where should I place my images and text?
• What font should I use?
• How can I get rid of all these bullet points?
• How can I make my graphics look professional?

No artistic talent is required to benefit from this presentation. You’ll leave with tips, ideas, and resources you can start using right away in slides, eLearning courses, job-aids and handouts.
