Graphic Relief: Beyond Flowcharts and Screenshots (Watch Party)
Details
Join us for a virtual watch party featuring Dennis Dawson's 2024 Write the Docs Portland presentation, "Graphic Relief: Beyond Flowcharts and Screenshots." After we view the presentation together, Dennis will join us live for a 20-minute Q&A. Bring your questions and curiosity!
When Dennis joined Ripple, he inherited a comprehensive but overwhelming set of technical docs. Over the past two years, he’s led a thoughtful transformation—reorganizing content, adding white space and visuals, and creating videos to explain complex workflows.
In this recorded talk, he shares practical strategies for making documentation more engaging and easier to understand, including:
- Collaborating with designers to create a consistent visual style
- Using graphics to reinforce abstract processes
- Producing educational videos on a budget
- Working with UX testers to challenge assumptions
