Description

Communicating (about) architecture to non-IT and business stakeholders is a valuable skill. After all, many architectural decisions are made by others, so they need to be informed with clear, honest, intelligible, and helpful information and advice. Jochem Schulenklopper explores relevant theories, techniques, and examples of creating architecture visualizations that are attractive, informative, and easier to understand for nontechnical audiences and shares practical tips on eight different facets of visually communicating your architecture: basic visual attributes, composition and layout, color, text, graphs, sketches, icons, images, and pictures.
