The Micro Design Studio: Your Secret Weapon For Remote Collaboration

  • September 24, 2020
1023 573 Society for News Design

Event: SND2020 Virtual Conference
Date: September 18, 2020

Design studios bring people with varied skill sets together to solve creative problems such as identifying what graphics or interactives will add a compelling visual dimension to a long form story. This session will describe how, even when we’re remote, designers, developers, and writers/editors can still participate together in these studios. The aim is agility, such that creative ideas emerge quickly and are brought to life early, leaving time for iteration or even rapid user testing.

By the end of this session, you will be able to:

  1. Identify when a micro design studio is in order.
  2. Plan a session from start to finish.
  3. Know which tools and platforms work well for facilitation.
