Mini Workshop on Storytelling with Data, Part I

Mini Workshop on Storytelling with Data, Part I

• M. Zia Hassan Endowed Professor Elizabeth J. Durango-Cohen

Abstract:

In this seminar, I will discuss the way our brains perceive patterns, and how we draw meaning from data as a mechanism to choose effective visuals that transform data into actionable information. I will also discuss how to build a narrative structure that incorporates both written words along with visuals to tell a story that has context (“what”), makes sense (“why it matters”) and gets the audience moved to action (“now what”).

All Illinois Tech faculty, students, and staff are invited to attend.
