The authors of Dear Data, Giorgia and Stefanie, presented an early version of the progress of their project, prior to authoring the book. It’s interesting to hear them discuss their thinking and the processes through which they created their images.
Their humour and the warmth of the relationship they developed during the project shine through.

This sketchnote was produced by Jenny Cham from a talk by Stefanie Posavec – ‘Data visualisation from the trenches‘
One strand of discussing what matters to teachers in their everyday literacy teaching, participants will present their data on a series of postcards – one per half term. This idea is inspired by a year-long postcard exchange by two information designers who documented their everyday lives using hand-drawn often quirky visualisations of data.
More detailed information and plenty of examples of the postcards they exchanged can be found at their Dear Data site.
For those who prefer or find it easier to listen, a podcast interview with Giorgia and Stefanie can be downloaded from the ‘Data Stories’ website.
