Data visualization—the study of the visual representation of data—plays a crucial role in the work of researchers and analysts. Organizations tasked with producing, releasing, and analyzing large amounts of data can more effectively analyze and communicate their work by understanding how to better visualize their data. Often, however, visualizing research results is an after-thought, secondary to the analysis, which ultimately limits the effective relay of information.
Bring your data to life using innovative visualization techniques in this workshop unlike any other, and learn from world leaders that come from two sides of data visualization: data science and design. Explore styles, techniques, and best practices to create meaningful and beautiful visualizations.
As the amount and speed of data grows at ever-increasing rates, being able to visualize and communicate data and data analysis has become more and more important. Organizations that are tasked with producing, releasing, and analyzing large amounts of data can more effectively do so by understanding how to visualize their data. In this workshop, you will learn the important underpinnings of the science and design process behind data visualization and how to effectively communicate your work.
This workshop will provide you with the core skills needed to conceptualize, plan, and develop data visualization products. Taught by world-renowned leaders in the field—Stefanie Posavec and Jonathan Schwabish—this workshop will inspire you to push beyond your own limits so you can create great, effective visualizations. Step away from your keyboard and enjoy some fresh space for your hands and mind: the entire workshop will be taught using nothing more than basic drawing materials and office supplies.
The Data, Designed Workshop is a two-day intensive hands-on workshop designed for people and teams who want to develop their creative process to create better, more effective data visualizations.
This course is for anyone interested in data visualization and who wants to better understand the general design process regardless of their data analysis or software skills, including:
Attendees should have certain materials to fully participate in the workshop. These materials include plain letter-sized paper, set of colored pencils or fine-tip markers (minimum six different colors), pencil with eraser, black pen, ruler/straight edge (optional), small coins or circles to trace (optional), phone or scanner to upload photos, access to a spreadsheet software (e.g., Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets) and access to the Miro online collaborative tool.
By the end of the workshop, participants will be familiar with the following topics:
