Hi #DataFam, I recently introduced a cycle plot-inspired design as an alternative to the typical dual-axis chart type in a #dataviz project. bit.ly/46E8Afa The #Tableau viz addresses the limitations of dual-axis charts in terms of suggestive correlation and crowded views. (1/n)

I had a go at making some #NFL drive charts! I'm really pleased with how they turned out. I wanted to go with something that felt a bit more minimal (I am forever inspired by @barelymaps.bsky.social) and believe it or not, this was the more minimal version... #SportsAnalytics #DataViz #DataFam

I’ll have to play with this later, thanks for sharing Amanda!

Interesting 📊 design choice by @nytimes.com: Vis designers often use a color like gray for regions with little-to-no data. But "in counties with few policies reported", @nytimes.com used the state avg + a dotted texture Imagine how different this would look + feel if those sections were gray! 🤔

Fargo, Severance, Black Mirror, Atlanta, Master of None, Euphoria – they all left their fans waiting for three years or more between seasons. In fact, we're waiting longer than ever for TV shows to return, as @lisacmuth.bsky.social shows in her Weekly Chart: blog.datawrapper.de/waittime-for...

Just spent a couple of hours at The Map House nerding over their current tube map exhibition, which has some fantastic rare Beck sketches, and proofs and drafts annotated by the man himself.

Okay, this is cute enough to ignore where the zero baseline starts

For someone who needs new office art, the Graphic Continuum poster is a classic. But I'd love more recommendations for #dataviz folks with print shops! policyviz.com/product/grap...

#throwbackthursday When I got the opportunity to design some datavisualization on birth rates for @popsci.com I went full in 😁 It shows a main graph of the income groups (countries around the world) and several graphs explaining the decline (access to contraception, education, medicine) 1/4 #dataviz

So every week, I host one of the amazing #datafam on one of these casual chats called #SecretsOfTheViz, and this week I have Zsófia Nika, who did a really cool skyscraper chart in her Saturday Night Live #dataviz . Check it out and subscribe if this interests you :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IWB...
