			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Updated again with IA Summit 2007 Workshop. I&#8217;ll be posting about the other presentation I did with Tom Wailes, and the slides, shortly.</em></p>
<p>For those who&#8217;ve attended the session or workshops previously, thanks! Hope you enjoyed it and as always, we&#8217;d love to hear how it was applied and whether it was useful. More importantly, we&#8217;d like to know how it could be improved.</p>
<p>This post will serve as the place where I&#8217;ll keep the resources related to the presentation updated. If you do end up using this technique, please do let me know as I&#8217;d love to show some examples of other people using comics in design.</p>
