Data Stories

In this episode we talk about food. Food? Yes, food. Moritz recently created the Müsli Ingredient Network, a visualization of ingredient combinations in müsli, and we took this as an opportunity to talk about one of our favorite topics other than visualization.

We love Andy so much that we decided to keep him with us for another episode. This time we talk about how to learn visualization, which is the perfect topic for Andy given his experience teaching visualization courses and trainings.

We have our first guest on the show! Andy Kirk and Moritz just came back from Malofiej 20, the Infographic World Summit, and we used the chance to discuss our impressions of the event — the conference, the awards, the workshops and the general vibe.

First we answer the listener questions we have received. Then we move on to the main topic: how do you evaluate visualization? After discussion some contests in episode #2, we've realized how key an issue evaluation is here.

We talk mainly about contests, awards, marathons, etc. And Mo goes on a rant at the end!

In this episode we introduce Data Stories and discuss the good and bad of animated visualization
