CCN205 Data-Driven Storytelling

This unit examines visual communication for information and the application of design principles for effective information design, especially visual data stories across various contexts and audiences. Understanding and engaging with the ever-growing quantities of data is a challenge for both organisations and individuals. Increasingly, experts are required to not only manipulate and evaluate this data but also to identify and communicate it within, to stakeholders, clients, users, community groups, etc. The effective visual communication of those stories in the data is a design process informed by advanced principles of information design and is critical for audience engagement. Data-driven storytelling is an advanced visual information design unit.
