Federica Fragapane, Data Visualization Designer
Designing visual narratives: data visualization for and with people
As an information designer, I constantly explore the possibilities that designing a data visualization opens in terms of creating a connection with the people. The main purpose is communicating the design process behind many of my projects which aims at engaging the readers, inviting them to read my pieces and therefore exploring the information and stories I’m telling through them. Visual experimentation has a significant role in such research.
During the talk I’ll show the process behind a set of data visualizations with a common ground of interest for the relationship between designer and people: not only as readers, but also as narrators. I'll share the design phases and the lessons learned throughout the processes
