Data permeates our everyday lives, whether we see it or not. This course will help you understand the data in our lives and how to communicate it visually in engaging ways. It covers techniques of designing data visualization and infographics to creatively put data into context. Students develop visual literacy and explore the history, theory, and methods for graphical information presentations. Experience in Adobe Illustrator is helpful.

Land Acknowledgement

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) acknowledges it is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism. We recognize that this place has a complex and layered history. As a community dedicated to creativity, MCAD is committed to ongoing efforts to support and advocate for American Indian Nations and peoples.

It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, ancestry, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, or marital status in the administration of its educational policies, scholarship and loan programs, and other school-administered programs.
