Session 1 - Beyond the Bar Chart: Blending Data and Storytelling

Looking up articles about communicating data, you're likely to find many reflections on how to tell stories with data when crafting data visualizations. Effectively blending data, visualization, and storytelling together can take many different formats though depending on your audience and your goal. During this workshop, you'll learn about the research behind why stories can make information more memorable, how to balance data and narrative in different contexts, and some of the sticky challenges we face as designers when incorporating storytelling in the context of healthcare where privacy, ethical representation of the people behind the numbers, and issues of misinformation are critical considerations. We'll walk through practical examples of how to tell 'short stories' through annotations and headlines and larger endeavors of blending individual stories like qualitative interview data with quantitative visualizations. You'll leave with ideas you can apply in your own efforts communicating data and recommended resources for exploring the intersection of data and storytelling.
