Why Does this Course Matter:

As data continues to proliferate and the need for quicker decision making increases, being able to provide information across organisations has become crucial.  However the proliferation of reports and dashboards shows that few organisations have been successful in taking the data available inside and outside the organisation to help decision makers throughout the organisation to make more data driven decisions.

What Will I Learn:

• Understand design principles and how they apply to visualisations
• Understanding of how aesthetics influence interpretation, credibility, and engagement
• Develop skills to make dashboards useful and usable
• The value of storytelling in developing dashboards and reports.
• Skills in combining narrative, layout, and emotion to create visuals that resonate
• Impact of your work by making complex information easier to absorb and act upon

Course Topics:

• Explore how design, art, and storytelling interact in data presentation
• Learn what makes visuals succeed or fail through structured exercises
• Build confidence in tailoring visuals for different audiences and objectives
• Practical exercises to illustrate and examine key points during the course
