The human brain isn’t set up to conceptualize numbers. But it is finely tuned to process visual images on a tiny scale. Part II concentrates on the theory, philosophy, and practice of displaying statistical information in visual form, both for the purpose of discovering hidden trends and anomalies, and to persuade an audience of your findings. Class is taught using a variety of web tools and API’s. Students who plan to attend should already be somewhat comfortable managing and organizing data sets. Excel knowledge is a plus, but is not required.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:
Zoe Fraade-Blanar is an Interaction Designer and Data Artist. Her work has been used by outlets such as eBay, FINRA, The New York Times, The Hubble Space Telescope, The US Dept of Labor, The US Postal Service, and IBM.

This event is free for currently-enrolled NYU journalism students. Alumni may attend for a $45 fee.
