Data Visualisation and Infographics with Add Two Digital

About this event

There is an extremely limited number of places so we ask that people only register to attend if they are certain that they can attend on the day. If someone is no longer able to attend, we ask that they email Audrey Tan (audrey.tan@ucl.ac.uk) so that their spot can be made available to someone else. Depending on demand, there is a possibility for a second session to be held in March/April 2022.

Description

Adam Frost and Tobias Sturt offer a number of webinars on key aspects of modern graphic design and information architecture. It is particularly recommended for people who want to rethink or revisualise the way they are currently presenting their data and who want practical suggestions for how to make quick improvements to their work. The webinar combines tried-and-tested guidance with hands-on exercises and is designed for people who have to analyse and present data as part of their work.

The course will be highly interactive with the following learning outcomes:

• a clear understanding of the process of data visualisation and information design – Data, Story, Charting and Design
• a better view of what is good and bad practice in the presentation of complex data
• an appreciation of the central tenets of user-centred design and how its principles can be applied to the creation of tables and charts
• actionable insights into how the principles of data design could be applied to make immediate improvements in core internal and external deliveries
• an understanding of the software available to make their own data visualisations and which might be most appropriate for their own organisation
