Speakers: Robert L. Peters

Session

Do the right thing. Do the thing right.

How and why convey what to whom—when, where, and with which intended result? Strategic counsel, practical advice, pithy insights, helpful tips, and vivid case studies from around the world… Best practices in design and visual communication for designers, writers, and managers responsible for creating identities, communications, and targeted information tools.
