It
seems like
everybody is
creating
infographics
and data
visualisations
these days.
But while
these can look
pretty, all
too often they
don’t tell a
clear,
compelling
story. This
one-day course
will teach you
how to spot
key stories in
data and bring
them out in
engaging and
attractive
infographics
which pack a
punch.
The
workshop is
led by Christian Tate,
Art Director
of Delayed Gratification
magazine
and Rob
Orchard,
Editorial
Director of
Delayed
Gratification
magazine, both
of whom
lecture on the
subject at Guardian
Masterclasses.
It comprises a
mix of
presentations
and seminars
with plenty of
practical
exercises,
shortcuts and
templates to
make the
infographics
research and
creation as
straightforward
and enjoyable
as possible.
There will be
opportunities
on the day to
discuss
individual
projects with
the tutors,
and how-to
handouts so
you can
continue to
learn after
the class.
This
workshop is
ideal for:
- Journalists, marketing and other
communications
professionals
looking to
present
stories
attractively
- Designers
who want to
develop their
infographics
skills and
give them a
journalistic
edge
- Freelancers
hoping to
pitch
infographics
to
publications
and
organisations
