Crafting Visual Abstracts

In this webinar, we will begin by covering the history of abstracts and data visualizations, leading into the modern context of visual abstracts and why you or your patrons would want to create one. We will also discuss how to incorporate user centered design and an accessibility mindset into your abstracts. Finally, we will go over a step by step guide to creating visual abstracts and software tools you may want to utilize.
