How to Tell Visually Impactful Stories with Data – Stanford Social Innovation Review

Two-Part 180-minute Live e-Certification Series:
Part I: Finding a Compelling Agenda [April 27] Part II: Visually Crafting Your Data Story [May 4]We Will Explore:
Data is everywhere. Big data, small data, limp data. Qualitative, quantitative, mixed data. Like clay, data is a medium ready and available for shaping. Maps and infographics are representations of data, and the stories they tell are all designed. In fact, every map and infographic conveys a loaded story. In today’s world of voluminous data and misinformation, data- and map-literacy are essential skills for smart nonprofits, effective leadership, and an informed civil society.
In this two-part 180-minute live e-certification series, you will learn the basics of using data in maps and infographics to tell visually impactful stories. This SSIR Live! webinar-workshop is developed, facilitated, and presented by Carissa Carter, the academic director at the Stanford d.school, the Hasso Plattner Institute for Design at Stanford University. 
This is not a data analytics or statistics course; it is suitable for anyone, regardless of their familiarity with design, data, and storytelling. Each session will be hands-on and interactive. Over two classes, you will deconstruct maps and infographics, and examine the elements that make them succeed or fail. You will also learn methods for exploring data frameworks. Further, you’ll experiment with craft and bias to see how they affect the story told by a map. By the end of the course, you’ll be more confident at reading, responding to, and critiquing maps and infographics, as well as building them for your organization.
