Zen Faulkes Shows You How to Up Your Poster Game
Zen Faulkes, author of Better Posters visits PolicyViz Podcast to talk about creating an infographic or presentation slides or data visualization. Even though it's specific to this one part of data communication, I think there's a lot going on here that a lot of us can learn about data communication. So we talk about Zen's background, coming into this poster area. He talked about his interest in design, working with data academics, what it's like to actually be in a conference poster session if you've never been to one.
