Description:
This
webinar will provide an overview of data visualization and data storytelling
best practices. Participants will learn how to select the right chart type and
how to tell a story with data. We’ll use RAWGraphs (an open-source data
visualization tool) to create graphs and Figma (a design tool) to edit the
graphs. Both tools are free to use and a great alternative to Excel when the
goal is to create data visualizations that go beyond a bar chart or a line
graph. No prior experience using RAWGraphs or Figma is required. The webinar
will be highly interactive, using a combination of presentations, discussions,
hands-on exercises, polls, and even a fun data visualization competition!
The
data set that we’ll be using to practice RAWGraphs and Figma will be provided
by the Max Foundation, an international nonprofit organization. This data
visualization and data storytelling webinar can be combined with the Data
Analysis and Cleaning in Alteryx webinar. Both webinars will use a similar case
study and the same data set.
