Visual journalism brings right-brain balance to print reporting. For the second year, visual journalist Eileen Clegg and her associates will again create murals on-the-spot to explain each large session at COFES. Last year these “reports” were real conversation starters, and eye-opening for some who had never considered the use of graphics in this fashion. You can see the results at http://www.cofes.com/gallery/?Gallery=12. IBM hired Clegg to cover a similar conference they sponsored in 2003; you can see the results at http://almaden.ibm.com/coevolution/gallery.shtml.
In a new article, correspondent Stuart Silverstone interviews Eileen Clegg about her work and her plans for COFES 2005, which starts next week.
