Hi, my name is Cedric Scherer and I'm excited to be the instructor of the upcoming workshop Designing Data Visualizations to Successfully Tell a Story at the Puzzle Conference in Chicago this September. In this course, you will learn how to create compelling graphics that communicate your data in a clear and effective way with a focus on your main insights by guiding and engaging the viewer.

Here are three main reasons why you don't want to miss this workshop.

Understanding context and audience

Understand the importance of the context in your audience. We will cover how to tailor your visualization to your audience and why it's important to consider the context in which these visualizations are presented. This will hopefully help you to create more effective and engaging graphics in the future when communicating your data.

Picking the right visualization
