Learn how to more effectively tell the story of your vacations through pictures. Regardless of what kind of camera you use (cell phone, tablet, DSLR, etc.), Lynda Buske from the Ottawa PC Users' Group and the Orleans Photo Club will show how to use light, foreground, people, and framing. Learn the best ways to shoot seaside, sunrise/sunset and more to create descriptive photos that needs no captioning.

Dive into the fascinating world of typography with Chris Taylor, President of the Ottawa PC Users’ Group. Chris will demystify the terminology of typography and explore its rich history. Learn what makes a typeface readable or distracting, how to effectively combine multiple typefaces, and the emotions different fonts can evoke.

Whether your next project is a greeting card, poster, newsletter, business card, logo, or anything else that incorporates text, Chris can help you avoid common typographic pitfalls. Practical tips will be shared to choose the right typeface, create visually appealing and readable text, and more. For the design novice or seasoned pro, this presentation will enhance your appreciation and understanding of typography’s powerful impact.
