"Data Visualization Methods and Practice" is an in-depth course designed for students, professionals, and enthusiasts who are interested in transforming complex data into impactful visual narratives. This course covers fundamental principles of data visualization, advanced techniques using modern tools and software, and the practical application of these methods to real-world data sets. Participants will learn how to design effective charts, graphs, and interactive elements, ensuring their visualizations are both informative and engaging. The course includes hands-on projects, peer reviews, and critiques, providing learners with the skills needed to become proficient in data visualization.

The cultural characteristics of each region will be researched from a design perspective, and participants will share and learn online in advance. After that, they will hold rebranding design workshops in Japan and the United States, taking into account the respective cultural backgrounds, and propose the final results.
