Tips and Insights

Over our 28 years of explaining, we've accumulated a wealth of valuable information that doesn't fit neatly under our web site tabs. This body of knowledge includes some tools we have developed, approaches that have worked well, other approaches that failed, and a large amount of miscellany that could be called "accumulated wisdom" or perhaps more accurately "battle scars"

We organized this section as topic threads that invite further insights and comments. We welcome your additions.

We also welcome questions and suggestions for new topics.

Are You a Visual Thinker?

It was always our plan to have other Explainers pitch in and participate in the blog once Renee got us off the starting line. It's all about teamwork, right? So here I am, lending a hand, and hopefully adding some value to what Renee has so carefully developed over the previous year.

My name is Parker, and I've been working at Explainers for about 8 years, although my association with this company can be traced back to the earliest days of my career. I started out as a technical illustrator, and along the way I've worked as a graphic designer, technical writer and project manager. My current position-Explainer-allows me to use all of my skills at once.

I'm writing to tell you about VizThink '08, an interesting conference that's being held in San Francisco in January. This would be a great opportunity for you to learn more about visual communication. Our schedule may prevent us from making the trip this year, but that doesn't mean you can't go! Sign up, and let us know what you think. We'd like to hear from you.
