Storytelling with Data Visualization

Storytelling with Data Visualization | Learning Claris FileMaker | Scoop.it

I (the author) had the pleasure of attending a Guardian Masterclass in London — one specifically about Data Visualization for journalists, designers and marketers.

Presented by both an editorial director and an art director, it covered both the story and the graphic design aspects, and the core theme of the course addressed a simple question – does your data tell a story and can you visualize it?

39 studies about human perception in 30 minutes | Medium - FileMaker tip

39 studies about human perception in 30 minutes
These are my speaker notes from a talk I gave at OpenVis in April 2016.

Originally this talk was supposed to be called “Everything we know about how humans perceive graphics,” which is… at a minimum, pretty pretentious. I scaled back a bit.


Clearly I have learned everything there is to know about how humans perceive data graphics in preparation for this talk. Literally everything.

But I couldn’t possibly fit it all into 30 minutes. So for your sake, let’s just refer to this talk as “39 studies on human perception in 30 minutes.”

Creating charts and info graphics can be time-consuming. But these tools make it easier.

It’s often said that data is the new world currency, and the web is the exchange bureau through which it’s traded.

 

As consumers, we’re positively swimming in data; it’s everywhere from labels on food packaging design to World Health Organisation reports.

As a result, for the designer it’s becoming increasingly difficult to present data in a way that stands out from the mass of competing data streams.


One of the best ways to get your message across is to use a visualization to quickly draw attention to the key messages, and by presenting data visually it’s also possible to uncover surprising patterns and observations that wouldn’t be apparent from looking at stats alone.
