The document provides guidance on principles of visual storytelling with data through informative analysis, personalization, social sharing, and storytelling. It discusses choosing appropriate visualization types, using establishing shots to situate viewers, highlighting important parts of graphics, restricting interactivity, and weaving text and graphics together to tell a story. The principles are aimed at guiding readers through a narrative and engaging them with interactive data visualizations.
Running up to their big Storytelling Lab Day this October, Ogilvy London asked some of its key partners to come in and talk about the many different aspects of storytelling week-by-week in the form of a Lab Lunch. This week JESS3 presented Visual Storytelling with Data to the Ogilvy team.

Understanding your audience and considering them in your design is essential for building great visualizations. This deck will walk you through the critical steps for identifying and understanding your audience, and developing a complex visualization storyboard to share your message.
Data Storytelling: The only way to unlock true insight from your dataBright North
Data visualisation is failing. Many businesses are relying on tools like Excel and PowerPoint to deliver an engaging data story without first establishing the plot. Bright North's latest whitepaper explains why Data Storytelling is the only way to unlock true insight from your data and lists five steps you can take to give your data story a happy ending.
We live in a data driven world. Our ability to generate and store data is increasing exponentially but, with data comes the need to analyse it and communicate it. Data stories such as infographics can bring facts to life, and is a way to simplify and help make sense and order out of a disparate collection of facts. Learn simple strategies to engage all students in authentic, integrated, inquiry learning which blends computational methods with digital graphics to visualise data in meaningful, interesting and more dynamic ways. See how you can engage your students in building effective stories from the hidden insights locked within the data they are exploring.
The Future Of Data Visualization
with Gert Franke
OVERVIEW
Data visualization has become increasingly popular over the last few years. Many tools nowadays include some kind of data visualization which gives you insight in usage, the best possible way to travel, the best product offering, etc. Data visualization seems to be a powerful solution for summarising information in a world where the amount of information targeted towards us is increasing every day. But is this the holy grail for processing information? What new possibilities does visualising data provide us? What is the best possible way to present and interact with these data visualizations?
In this talk Gert Franke will briefly show where data visualization comes from, how it now influences our daily life, what the potential of data visualization is and what the future of data visualization might look like.
OBJECTIVE
Show the history, potential and future of data visualization.
TARGET AUDIENCE
People that want to understand the possibilities of interactive data visualizations.
FIVE THINGS AUDIENCE MEMBERS WILL LEARN
The history of data visualization
The reasons why data visualization became so hot the last few years
The potential of data visualization
The things we have to be aware of when creating (interactive) data visualizations
What might the future look like with the use of data visualization

Storytelling with Data - Approach | SkillsAmit Kapoor
The ever increasing computational capacity has enabled us to acquire, process and analyze larger data-sets and information. However, the human memory and attention required to use this data is more limited and has remained relatively constant. Data visualization can enable us to compress data and encode it visually in ways that allows us to aid perceptual and cognitive understanding.
However, data visualisation alone is not enough and often we need to try to tell stories through data. Storytelling with data can enable us to move from analysis to synthesis, from numbers to visuals, and from an argument to a story. Operating at this intersection of data, visual and story can help persuade not only through logos (logic) but also through pathos (empathy) and ethos (credibility). In trying to tell compelling data stories, we can empower our selves to engage, communicate and persuade a large and diverse audience.
In this talk, I discuss ‘why’ stories work and what we can learn about the art of storytelling from other mediums like oral storytelling, written stories, pictures, comics and movies. I will summarise basic principles that can help us in our crafting journey, as we take the data through the layers of abstraction. The focus would be on unpacking the seven dimensions of creating an engaging data story - Abstraction (data patterns), Representation (visual encoding), Framing & Transition (perspective, focus), Messaging (verbal, text annotation), Flow (arrangement) and Interactivity.
Further, creating data stories is a cross disciplinary activity that requires us to operate at the intersection of a visual designer, data scientist and storyteller. It is both a science and an art. So how does one realistically learn these multitude of skills needed to get good at it. I will also discuss ideas about the possible path that practitioners could adopt to learn this craft through sustained practice.

Data science skills are increasingly important for research and industry projects. With complex data science projects, however, come complex needs for understanding and communicating analysis processes and results. The rise of data science has accompanied a comparable rise in business intelligence and the demand for visualizations and dashboards that can explain models, summarize results, assist with decision making, and even predict outcomes. Ultimately, an analyst’s data science toolbox is incomplete without visualization skills. This talk will explore the landscape of visualization for data science – using visualization for data exploration and communication, reproducible approaches to visualization, and how to develop better instincts for visualization choice and graphic design.
Storytelling with Data - See | Show | Tell | EngageAmit Kapoor
Stories have been recognized for their power of communication & persuasion for centuries and we need to operate at that intersection of data, visual and stories to fully harness the power of data.
I take your through a short tour of the science and the art of visualization and storytelling. Then give you an introduction through examples and exemplar on the four different layers in a data-story: See - Show - Tell - Engage.

The Functional Art: Design and Infographics | Journalism Interactive Conferen...Journalism Interactive
PRESENTER: Alberto Cairo (@albertocairo), Instructor, University of Miami.
DESCRIPTION: Too many journalists still relate the word "design" to making pages and websites look prettier. As a consequence, they think that the main goal of an infographic is to be eye-catching, engaging, and fun. They argue that infographics are means to "simplify" data that only specialized professionals are capable of creating. This presentation will debunk all these myths and propose an alternative view of infographics and visualizations as means to make messages richer, deeper, and more effective.
Data visualisations have qualities that make them very powerful communication tools. Images and visualisations are often more readily accepted as evidence than texts. But how can we combine the power of visualizations with the values and ethics of quality journalism? What are the common pitfalls, mistakes and misconceptions? Why should we care about them and how can we fix them? How can we succeed in finding a balance between compelling storytelling, correct data display and aesthetically rich representations? In this workshop Gregor Aisch has walked through guidelines and do’s and don’ts that help survive in the complex field of telling stories through visualizations and infographics.

We are bombarded with 174 newspapers worth of information each day and in order to get your message to cut through the noise, you need to be simple to understand, provide value, and if possible, evoke an emotional response. By combining hard data with beautiful visuals, you have a fighting chance to stand out. As my good friend Joe Chernov likes to say: "The secret to breaking through a noisy landscape isn't more noise. It is sounding different."
What's more, there is a high likelihood that you will have a lot of fun in the process. Heck, I would even argue you will feel actual JOY. Why? By returning to the basics of storytelling, you are tapping into the origins of how you learned to communicate as a child -- from using colors and shapes, to employing mixed media. Just because you are a grown up doesn't mean you shouldn't still draw about these early stage arts.

Social Storytelling for the modern caveman by BrandhomeBrandhome
World Marketing Congress Mumbai: Brandhome’s vision on (social) storytelling

Lecture slides from the course Interactive Storytelling (autumn 2012). The aim of the course is to present the key concepts behind interactive storytelling as well as to review the proposed and existing systems.
The course begins with an introduction to storytelling and interactivity. There are two approaches to combine them: In character-centric storytelling, we focus on creating believable and complex characters and the story emerges from their interaction in a given setting. In author-centric storytelling, we focus on creating a plot that controls the character and adapts to changes while keeping the story dramatically compelling. The course ends with a broad review of existing and proposed interactive storytelling systems.
The presentation defines digital storytelling, reviews the learning benefits for college students, and offers sample projects and approaches.
For more info, including links to playable versions of the sample stories featured here as well as other, shorter versions of the presentation, see:

People who want to introduce an enterprise social network often face a dual challenge: they have to convince senior management as well as get people to use the network. This presentation addresses both issues and gives you hope: you don't necessarily need active senior management support to get the ball rolling. With community management tactics and by leveraging "killer content" you can change organisational habits that can later snowball into bigger changes.

Presentation from the SXSW 2011 panel on Interactive Narratives: Creating the future of storytelling (SXSW 2011) with Andrew Lewellen, Josh Koppel, Esther Lim & Robert Pratten,
Few could argue that stortelling is a powerful tool to inspire action and change, and to influence thought leaders and decision makers. The shape and delivery of stories has also shifted dramatically in the digital era. Long-form narrative and conventionalism journalism now share a stage with messages 140 characters or images that disappear in seconds after they are opened. There have never been more ways to reach audiences, but it's also never been more difficult to really reach them.

Book from Rosenfeld Media
http://www.rosenfeldmedia.com/books/storytelling/
How are stories constructed? // The things we buy, the decisions we make, how we spend our time— stories govern all these actions. But how are these stories constructed? Specifically, what have we learned about how our brains make sense of and integrate new information?
What are the future Web trends? It starts with understanding the larger framework of narrative conventions and building subtext to create immersive experiences.
This is followed by examples of how brands and agencies can use these concepts to develop immersive experiences for their audiences.
This was a talk given by Jenny Wong and Danilo Sato at Agile Brazil 2011:
Agile teams learned that splitting teams into silos and functional areas is not a productive way to develop software. Having cross-functional teams improve collaboration and enables delivery of value faster. The same arguments can be applied to user stories. The way in which business requirements and features are translated into user stories play an important role on the software delivery process. This session will discuss the benefits of working with small user stories, and present different ways to split requirements into user stories.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
