“Creating a narrative by turning rows of numeric data into visual stories is a big challenge. It requires finding meaningful patterns and expressing them in a visual language that can communicate with a wide audience, which is a difficult but an exciting task.”...
“Often the process of encoding data to find the narrative or any hidden relationships is difficult. I work with transit data frequently and understanding why a network behaves the way it does involves untangling complex threads. Questions such as what contextual data influences this network, or how the network was functioning this time last year, all help in unlocking these...
“It would be fun to find infographics and explanatory illustrations in different mediums, such as product packaging with the instructions to open it or manuals to use a product, or even as a way of interactive story-telling or scrollytelling.”...
