Data Folks

A curated list of awesome information designers

By Juanchi Parra

During the process of creating something it will always be more complicated when we are alone. Beyond being able to have the support of others, sometimes we'll need resources or references that allow us to go a step further, make us think outside the box, inspire us, and make us overcome our limits. That's why data folks were created, to make it easier to get inspiration from these information designers.

Alvin Chang

interactive

Alvin is a data journalist specializing in interactive storytelling. After leading the visuals and data team at The Guardian US, he became a professor at The New School and a regular contributor to The Pudding. I follow his work for its distinct visual language and the way he uses personal and everyday topics to tell stories. For those interested in process, his "Behind the Scenes" resources are essential for understanding how to build comprehensive narratives. I owe it to him that I’ve become a better information designer (one who's more curious and detail-oriented) and someone who understands that creativity knows no bounds. It's also thanks to him that I discovered p5.js
