Transforming a Graph into a Data Story
Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic gives a masterclass in visual narrative planning
Thursday 13 October · 15:00-16:00 BST · Online (Zoom)
Starting with a dense attrition bubblegraph, Cole will draw on inspiration from the SWD community to give a practical demonstration of how to bring data to life with a compelling narrative.
In this 30-minute session, Cole will share how she approaches understanding an unfamiliar graph and demonstrate how we can use learnings from this process to direct a thoughtful redesign. Then she takes things beyond the graph, illustrating how we can use our knowledge of the data together with thoughtfully designed materials and a powerful presentation to tell our audience a robust data story.
Cole is then joined by Joshua Smith for 15mins to explore Cole’s approach and techniques in more depth.
Get started right away! To see the example we’ll focus on, we invite you to complete the what’s the story here? exercise in the SWD community ahead of time. Take your turn grappling with the confusing graph, then watch Cole decode and redesign it into a data story.
