July 15, 2008: New RM book signing: Kevin Cheng on comics


I'm quite excited about this one. In the interests of efficiency, I'll just
steal the announcement from the Rosenfeld Media site:

Many in the user experience world are become quite familiar with *Kevin
Cheng's* wit and perspective through OK/Cancel <http://www.ok-cancel.com/>,
the brilliant comic strip he co-creates with *Tom Chi* (more about Kevin
here <http://www.rosenfeldmedia.com/books/comics/author/biography/>.) Now
we'll get to delve further into Kevin's creative mind: he's agreed to write
*See What I Mean <http://www.rosenfeldmedia.com/books/comics/>: How to Use
Comics to Communicate Ideas* for Rosenfeld
Media<http://www.rosenfeldmedia.com/>.
Kevin and I have been bouncing around this book idea for years, and I'm
thrilled that we'll have an opportunity to work together.

Many recognize that comics are a powerful design tool, but assume they need
to be artists to create comics. Through his workshops Kevin has been
disproving that assumption for years, and now his book will do the same for
a wider audience. See What I Mean will teach anyone, regardless of drawing
ability, how to use comics to communicate design concepts effectively.

Like all Rosenfeld Media books, Kevin's begins with a book-in-progress
site<http://www.rosenfeldmedia.com/books/comics/>where he'll share his
ideas as they develop, and where we hope you'll do the
same. We invite you to engage in Kevin's writing process; this is your
opportunity to shape what we believe will be a mainstay on every designer's
bookshelf for years to come. You can also keep up with the book's progress
