Open The New York Times today and you'll see photos, headlines, interactive infographics, audio, videos, and text articles. I could name almost any newspaper, magazine, social media platform, campaign website, or brand home page, and say the same.
Communication today switches mediums like a chameleon switches colors wandering in a field of Skittles.
Our students know communication has changed. They need practice sharing ideas in different mediums and weaving those mediums together.
Enter, one-pagers, an easy on-ramp for communicating through multiple mediums at once. Students learn to play with color, icons, and imagery that complement their quotations and analysis in bringing home their ideas.
Today I want to walk you through everything I've learned about one-pagers over the last decade or so working with them. We'll start with the nuts and bolts of what they are in a quick review, and then talk about where to find models, why templates are such a helpful scaffold, what elements you might require on your one-pagers, and a laundry list of ways to use them creatively in class. Oh, and we'll wrap up with some ideas for other projects and strategies you might try in class if you love one-pagers.
