On January 6, 2025, Celestin Niyomugabo, CEO of VONSUNG, led an engaging training session on Infographics Design and Data Visualization via Zoom. The session introduced participants to Adobe Illustrator and key principles of effective data communication.

The session began with an in-depth walkthrough of Adobe Illustrator’s interface, tools, and customization options. Participants practiced using selection tools, creating shapes, and adjusting colors, building confidence in their design abilities. Celestin also emphasized the importance of thoughtful visual storytelling, highlighting data visualization principles like cognitive load theory and Gestalt principles to enhance clarity and impact.

A discussion on typography reinforced the power of font choices in guiding a viewer's experience, and a hands-on design activity demonstrated how simple elements could form cohesive, professional visuals. Throughout the session, Celestin provided practical support, ensuring everyone overcame technical challenges.

Participants left equipped with valuable insights and excited for the next session, where they will dive deeper into color theory and advanced Illustrator functions.

Stay tuned for more updates as the training continues!
