DESCRIPTION
This is a 3 hour workshop presented at TCUK 2013. What you don't see in the slides are the critical parts - the hands on activity. During this workshop we used the activity of having participants draw their visualization of the work 'communication.' They then went through the review process, and iterated, a few times. The second activity, which focused on Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, and Proximity (CRAP) was, as small groups, to take visualize data we collected in the room. (For instance, what are the color of the eyes of the individuals in the room? How many years of service did participants have in the industry.
