Summary today's session.

       Roman's presentation. Roman opened the session with his urban presentation. He has been working and the result has been great with some changes. Mainly, he use a unitary graphic language which made easier the speech, organized the presentation by points and used it as keywords, and he delete some parts which created problems for understanding and he showed clearly the main concepts.

      O. Neurath Challenge. We watched David McCandless conference and was really interesting. We where talking aboute the competition and how we can use all the information we have.

new O.Neurath atlas from comparative sketches / diagrams - based on flows / routes / ????

It is was difficult to define more the "what?" part. It was decided to create the medium for sharing ideas, references and resources. It was selected google docs as the main tool to share the text information and work all together in common, and mural.ly to post the graphics works.

A challenge

During these communication training sessions we have been mainly working on verbal communication and its perception. Participating in this competition gives us a chance to train our graphic communication skills. The goal remains: make certain information accesible and attractive to the recipients. We will still need to filter information, emphasize certain ideas and find ways to explain them in the most attention-catching-way possible, but we will now need to develop different tools in order to synthesize and represent complex ideas and processes graphically.
