On November 8th, Nora and I attended the book signing and launch party at the AIGA National Design Center for “Dialog”: What makes a great design partnership, by Ken Carbone and Leslie Smolan. Ever since our early days in New York City, we have admired Carbone Smolan for their consistent level of taste, quality, and strategy-focused design. From large banks to tiny not-for-profits, from world-famous museums to start-up fashion lines, the duo always seems to nail it. “Dialog” is available at Pointed Leaf Press and through Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

chris — Tue, 06 Nov 2012 14:42:59 +0000

People today deal with unprecedented levels of information and data. As communicators, don’t we owe it to them to produce content that’s intuitive and easy to understand? Antonio Poglianich, a partner at Mercer Consulting’s New York workforce communication and change practice, and Dan Taylor attempted to answer that question in a presentation they gave to IABC Westfair on November 5th at Columbus Park in Stamford. Entitled “Infographics & Trends in Corporate Communications,” they explored our evolving role as communicators, the elements of a good infographic, when to use an infographic (including the value of quantifiable information), and how to partner with designers to create a professional infographic.
