Presented by: Anton Bollen, Techsmith

Description

Images, animations, and videos are essential components for modern technical communication. However, we often struggle to understand key factors about these visuals:

How do they enhance content and assist learners, what do effective visuals look like, and how do we optimize graphics to be used in a code-driven environment?

We’ll provide concrete answers to these questions in this research-driven presentation and collectively improve our understanding and use of images, animations, and videos across all of our technical content.
