Most evaluators and researchers try to write, design, and illustrate their reports all at the same time - usually the night before it's due. This multitasking approach is why your reports feel like a struggle and often don't look as good as you'd hoped. There's a better way: Split the work into three parallel tracks - writing, design, and illustration. *This is a clip from a workshop I delivered on Everyday Report Design. In this video, I'll show you how to: * Separate your writing from your design work * Use placeholder text (lorem ipsum) to design before you write * Get approval on layouts early, before investing time in content * Reduce the late-night stress of making reports "look pretty" This simple process shift will save you time and create better-looking reports. — Want help moving your evaluation reports from static PDFs to engaging web experiences?
