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.
