Making connections and reaching people.
Well-made, accessible presentation of information is a pivotal, yet under-utilized, vehicle for reaching a wide audience. We use keen visual presentation to prepare your message for specific audiences, or break down your reports for stakeholders in a beautiful and professional way.
Infographics and illustrated publications, sharply focused on accessibility and diversity, connect with people on a personal level to translate knowledge into understanding - and action.
Knowledge exchange is more than fancy graphs. We've worked on numerous unique projects with a variety of community members and research teams with many goals - to educate, motivate, and connect.
This could be as creative as comic strip handouts, or as detailed as multi-page reports, presenting ideas from qualitative or quantitative projects. Beginning with marketing and recruitment material all the way through to final product, consistency and accessibility is key.
What is Knowledge Transfer & Exchange?
Knowledge Transfer & Exchange (KTE) is the process of disseminating and exchanging information between knowledge holders (often researchers) and knowledge users. This process makes information accessible and useful to invoke positive change in policy-making, inform new practices, or share findings. KTE is evidence-based, and intends to meet the needs a target community or group of stakeholders.
What does KTE look like?
KTE is shared knowledge with purpose; it could be as creative as illustrations or as detailed as infographics. Educational presentations, newsletters, conference materials and posters, downloadable info-sheets, research recruitment material, and community-based art projects are all part of our portfolio. But most importantly, it will be accessible and available to the community it's intending to reach. That might mean design or dissemination choices to meet specific needs.
Why use graphic design for Knowledge Transfer & Exchange?
In order to engage with your information, stakeholders, community members, policy-makers, and researchers need to be able to access it. That means clear, understandable information for those both inside and outside of an academic setting. It also means standing out in a crowd, whether that's digitally or in a meeting/conference setting. Complete consistency from start to finish gives a project a professional and organized look that draws attention: that of those with power to make change, and the community that the project is intended to serve.
