Randy Krum on Why Most Charts Suck and More Deadly Data Viz Sins

Randy Krum is a Data Visualization &amp; Infographics Designer, Author, Consultant, Speaker, Instructor, and President at InfoNewt. He is also the owner &amp; author of Cool Infographics and is passionate about communicating insights through visuals. He liaises with multiple companies to visualize internal data such as internal processes, marketing strategies, consumer experiences, product differentiation, qualitative and quantitative research, website statistics, and so on.KEY TAKEAWAYS👉 Visualize your data because visual information is not only easier and faster to understand, but it's more memorable.👉 “Go beyond (software) defaults.”👉 “Focus on one thing that you're trying to communicate, don't try and throw everything into one chart.”👉 “Try to minimize the text as much as possible and make as much of that communication visual as you can so that they're paying attention to you, to visuals, to where we're trying to focus your attention…”👉 Be different. Think outside the box. Approach all work with a fresh perspective and tap into something simple yet unique that will resonate with those employing your services. 👉 People like to feel like they belong in a story. They like to feel like the message is meant for them alone. Communicate to that part of them. 👉 Make your visuals relevant to the data/message you're trying to pass across and make them memorable for the audience.👉 “Data visualization design is not about making your charts pretty. It's really about communicating the data.” Data visualization is more about storytelling; therefore, tell a great story through your design. 👉 Help clients figure out the insights they want to communicate and access the thought processes behind them by walking them through a design process.👉 Know your audience and what you want them to do with the data you provide them. People only need you to tell them what to do to do what you need them to do. Instead of a heavy sales pitch or a heavy-handed persuasiveness, a simple call to action will do the trick most of the time.👉 Get involved in trials and market experiments to gauge your market’s understanding of your data and their response to it. Listen now!bCast - https://bit.ly/3ACsRBzApple - https://apple.co/3gsuA31 Spotify - https://spoti.fi/3B0lVy6 RSS -  https://bit.ly/3AFrUs6 Getting to Aha! with Darshan Mehta is hand crafted by our friends over at: fame.soPrevious guests include: Kristin Luck, Shep Hyken, Whitney Dunlap-Fowler, Randy Krum, Gerard Ibarra, Jamie Flinchbaugh, Katie Anderson, Rebecca Brooks, Brooke Sellas, Dan Gingiss, Phil Irvine, Dan Fleetwood, Nicholas Zeisler, Katrina Noelle, Laura Beavin-Yates, Kalil Vicioso, Mo McKibbin, Bryant Leech and Louie Gravance.Check out the 3 most downloaded episodes: Welcome to Getting to Aha!Making Good Decisions with Gerard Ibarra, Author of "Good Decisions, Better Outcomes”The Simplicity of Leadership with Katie Anderson

Episode #66: Randy Krum

Visualize the SpoonHappy Tuesday everyone, and welcome to another episode of Appitalize On Your Idea: The Podcast. Today we have Randy Krum, author of Cool Infographics and owner of InfoNewt, a company dedicated to data visualization and infographics.  Randy and I discuss the reason for using infographics.  So many times an infographic is incorrectly listed, as many just thing if it has pictures it's an infographic.  On Randy's blog Cool Infographics, he posts about different types of graphics that are the right kind. So why use an infographic to tell your story?  You know the phrase "A picture tells a 1000 words"?  Imagine telling 1,000,000,000 words with just some simple graphics.  Now there is a caveat (when isn't there one?).  The story must be 1 cohesive story articulating 1 particular set of data.But don't just take my word for it.  Listen to todays interview with Randy Krum.If you like the content in this episode please do leave a review in iTunes.Links Mentioned During the Show:InfoNewt Randy's Blog Cool Infographics - Randy's Book
