In the digital era, we are bombarded by humongous streams of information. Sometimes, these 'inputs' are not interesting enough to breach the defensive barriers that protect our attention ― hence, we simply decide to pass over. Other times, what we are exposed to seems valuable but we do not see any neat, meaningful pattern in it (that's the bottom line as it comes to crunch massive datasets!!). According to the popular idiom "one picture is worth a thousand words", all what messengers and audiences need to 'click' is ― often-times ― just a simple, effective visualization. This module is a journey into the art and science of creating memorable charts, which grab the attention of the audience and successfully convey insights and narratives. Pleasant journeys require good companions: 'infographic' ― i.e., the field that investigates the representation of information, data, and knowledge ― will offer the theoretical platform for the module; Python will make things happen (at least on our screen). Consistently with the teaching philosophy of the module leader, each individual lecture integrates 'theory' and 'practice'.
