Telling compelling stories with Data

I am blown away by the data visualizations created by VISTA Billy Brown serving at the Community Center of St. Bernard. The image above is part of a data report that his supervisor found so compelling she took it to a funder.

As a grantwriter, I have to balance storytelling with data. Usually, this means mixing anecdotes with statistics: a quote here, a pie chart there. What comes out is compelling but disjointed.

By creating a beautiful, accessible, yet information rich series of charts and visuals, this graphic tells a powerful story with data.

A picture can tell a 1000 words; it can also tell a 1000 numbers…. and amazingly have them make sense.

This great visualization of access and usage was created by VISTA member Billy Brown for the Community Center of St. Bernard.

This Social Media Report shows the results of a survey given to members visiting the Community Center of Saint Bernard. It is useful in providing this information in a meaningful and engaging format.
