Infographics and Insight Visualisation

Understand visual storytelling and create tailor-made data infographics

This course is now delivered online as a series of live sessions which fully meet the learning objectives of face-to-face training.

Visual storytelling is one of the hottest trends in research and insight; partly because we live in an information-loaded era, and partly because clients and consumers want information that is high impact, easy to understand and easy to share.

In our day-to-day lives as researchers, we don’t often have the opportunity to be creative or artistic with our data. But following the movement towards visuals and ‘data storytelling’ this workshop demonstrates how to think creatively about data and even be playful with findings and communications through high-spec visuals.

The workshop provides everything you need to know about insight visualisation, including the process of going from raw data to visualisations and the top ten things that work well. Through hands-on Photoshop training, you will use your own data to create a digital infographic relevant to your topic of choice or your work. It’s a day of learning-by-doing, with a good mix of hands-on training, examples and theory.
