Make Clear and Attractive Visualizations (Illustrate Your Data!)
Bill Shander
Keynote speaker, workshop leader, LinkedIn Learning Instructor focused on information design, data storytelling & visualization, and creativity
I've been traveling (recording at the LinkedIn for Learning studios, and on vacation in the beautiful and peaceful Baja peninsula) and haven't posted here in several weeks. But I'm excited to come back and share this episode on data illustration.
We all know the term "data visualization" and it's self-explanatory: data in visual form. So what is a data illustration? It's similar, but there's a slight twist worth exploring.
Lesson: Data Illustration
In this lesson, I define data illustration and make the case for illustrating your data as much as you can! Imagine your next boring chart is something special, really try to bring it to life like an illustration in a book. If you do, it will actually be more effective, not just better looking.
Listen: Data Illustration with Gabrielle Merite
Gabrielle Merite describes herself as a "Scientist-Turned-Designer powered By plants, research and activism" and has always used the title "information designer and data illustrator" for herself. Her title is what inspired me to make this episode. In this conversation, we talk about what data illustration means to her and how she applies it to her fantastic work.
