Data Storytelling:

What is the course.
This course is all about understanding the fundamentals of good design when it comes to Data Visualisation and the importance it plays in helping you find and tell your story.
We've all sat in presentations, watched the news, scrolled through Twitter and found ourselves either remarking "that's a great chart" or "I don't even know where to start" when looking at other people's visualisations. Data Visualisation is everywhere and as a result it's becoming more and more important that we get it right and get people engaged with the story we are trying to tell.
This course is designed to get you thinking about 'what makes a great visualisation' and what are the Design Principles we can apply each and every time to achieve this. The course will also share how you can go about approaching the production of Data Visualisation in a more systematic way that will elevate your end product and ensure you inform, inspire and ultimately entertain your audience.
Being great at Data Visualisation is becoming an increasingly important skill in Data Science and this course will help you raise the bar and become more confident in telling your data stories.

Why do it.
If you find your presentations are full of 'the same old visuals' or you're finding that you are having to take the time to explain your charts, rather than your story, then you may need help with visualisation design.
Alternatively, if you simply want to find that next 10-20% to elevate your charts to the next level then this course will be for you.
The course contains models, examples and best practice to help you become more confident with Data Visualisation Design and ultimately have more influence with your data stories.
The training is designed to be interactive and full of discussion & exercises, with best practice from the world of Data Visualisation and Design.
Participants of the training will end up with a portfolio of techniques and best practice to help build their confidence and self-belief when it comes to designing their next visualisation.
