**Data visualization sits at the intersection of science and art.**

Having all the information in the world readily available at our fingertips doesn’t make it easier to communicate. It makes it harder.

In *Storytelling with Data*, Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic shows us what she’s learned turning data into pictures and stories over six years teaching her own data visualization course at Google. This is a simple, fun, modern-day version of Edward Tufte’s *The Visual Display of Quantitative Information,* aimed at making each of us better at sharpening our message and communicating our story clearly.

We initially compiled [the notes below](https://www.broyhillasset.com/hubfs/Research/Storytelling%20with%20Data%20new%20brand.pdf) for internal use as they are comprised largely of our own highlights exported from the book. The majority of these highlights are specific guidelines and examples which we found helpful. *The data, graphs, and images from the book can be found [here](https://www.storytellingwithdata.com/book/downloads).*

**For the full story and all of the context around each example, we highly recommend reading the book in its entirety.** We purchased hard copies for our entire team so that Cole’s lessons are always readily accessible on our physical desktops. You can purchase your own copy [here](https://amzn.to/2YTit3O).
