Visual Display Guild

Moving Institutions Beyond Words

Technological advances have simplified the production of many visual display forms, such as charts, figures, websites, posters, logos, and maps. However, parallel progress has not been made on the quality of visual displays. It has even been argued that the software tools that help us produce visual displays are designed and segmented in such a way as to detract from the quality of those visual displays.

Our mission to improve visual displays by synthesizing members' competencies into supportive tools, services, and educational experiences. Monthly meetings are structured often around a topic, technique, or tool. Members are encouraged to bring visual displays to meetings for discussion.
