In this workbook we will introduce you to basic concepts in visual and
narrative storytelling and explore how they might help transform the
ways you communicate with data. Likewise, we will cover some of the
foundational terminology and concepts in working with data, data visualisation, and mapping, highlighting our storytelling approach throughout.
By drawing together practitioner perspectives across a range of different
sectors, from rural cartography to human rights campaigning, this workbook explores the different practices and techniques that contemporary
data storytellers use. Focused around the importance of reflective and
sustainable collaborations, we try to offer language lessons that can help
foster communication between people involved in telling data stories,
from computer scientists to social theorists to social media marketers.
Rather than focus on specific software or tools, this workbook focuses
on the resources, skills, and mind-sets needed to turn ideas into communicative artefacts.
