Why does storytelling matter when delivering data to your audiences? What are the principles of storytelling that you should implement into your visuals?

Any time we create a visualization, we create an abstract model of the data. As designers, we must ensure that the data is represented as truthfully and objectively as possible because they have the ability to mislead, deceive, or confuse. In this module, we’ll take a look at some problematic visualizations and how to avoid misrepresenting data. You’ll also put your knowledge to use and perform multivariate visualization methods in Tableau.
