Content

Visual design is at the heart of this course. No matter what data you’re looking to present, from company figures to twitter followers, there’s a graphic that’s right for you.

This training will guide you through each step of the graphic-making process, from concept to visualization, enabling you to answer each of the following along the way:
  • How can I bring my information to life through graphics?
  • What changes can I make to a design so it’s more visually appealing?
  • How can I design a graphic that appeals to my target audience and promotes the information?
  • How do I ensure that the design is not more important than the message?
Juan Velasco will provide you with different approaches to presenting your information in interesting ways. You’ll become familiar with the different visualization options and the types of graphics best used in certain situations. From the creative aspects to perspectives and best practices, you’ll learn tools and strategies for creating interactive graphics for both print and online.

Part of this course will entail sketching the visualizations as well as creating dashboards and smartphone graphics.

The following subjects will be covered over the two days:
  • The role of infographics and data visualisation in storytelling
  • Visual perception and the importance of visualizations
  • Overview of different chart types
  • Infographic design (colour, typography, illustrations, hierarchy)
  • Main design rules
  • Creativity (inspiration and coming up with ideas)
  • Graphic shapes for web and mobile
  • Creating interactive visualizations in Tableau, Flourish & Datawrapper (demonstration)
