Data & Design How-to's Note 4: Visualisation basics – the three 'gets' | Drawing by Numbers

Data & Design How-to's Note 4: Visualisation basics – the three 'gets' | Drawing by Numbers | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
Drawing by Numbers is a resource on data visualization for activists, created by Tactical Tech. It features visualization tools, infographic ideas, as well as advice on working with data and information in campaigning and independent journalism.

2.  Get the story - which is about understanding an issue
3.  Get the details - which is about exploring the issue

 

Using a wide variety of different examples we'll walk through these three approaches and give helpful hints about the key challenges and creative tactics involved in their successful use....
