Overview
Humans have always been visual storytellers. This course explores how diverse organisations utilise data visualisation (“dataviz”) and infographics for advertising, communications, and stakeholder engagement. We’ll identify key data-driven storytelling “plots”, devise creative concepts, and learn how to choose the right visualisation format to match the message, audience, and platform.

You’ll be introduced to a range of chart and graph formats that will provide new storytelling opportunities for your next project or campaign.
