This highest-rated course by the MTF Institute takes you inside the brain of your audience to decode how we actually perceive visual information. Led by Dr. Alex Amoroso, you will move past basic charting and learn the psychological principles of Gestalt and pre-attentive attributes to design visuals that the human brain can process in milliseconds. From the "3-Minute Story" technique to mastering horizontal and vertical logic, you’ll learn how to strip away the clutter and highlight the specific insights that trigger business action.
