Welcome to episode 4 of season 6 of Explore Explain, a long-form video and podcast series all about data visualisation design. I am delighted to welcome Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic, Founder & CEO of Storytelling With Data, and Mike Cisneros, a Data Storyteller and colleague of Cole’s.
In this episode we explore the story behind their new book, also co-authored with Alex Velez, titled ‘Before & After‘, showcasing 20 case studies of data visualisation makeover designs.
Here are links to some of the key references or resources mentioned during this episode:
- The book’s profile on the ‘Storytelling With Data’ website including links to buy
- Page of downloads of the associated PowerPoint and Excel files containing graphs and slides from each makeover chapter.
- Article from Mike about his favourite makeover that did NOT make it into the book
- Announcement and article about her ‘Information is Beautiful Awards’ gold medal
