The Geography of the Labour Force Composition in the Netherlands by Ate Poorthuis (doi.org/10.1111/tesg...). One of the best uses of the centered ternary balance scheme (www.demographic-research.org/articles/vol...) I've seen so far. Build with tricolore github.com/jschoeley/tr... @ikashnitsky.phd

I've updated Geoblender so that the country DEM prep is automated using python! Simply add the DEM tiles and set COUNTRY_CODE to your desired country. I also added the option to download and drape a Sentinel satellite image over it! See github.com/joewdavies/g... #gis #cartography #blender #b3d

Guess where?

Built a palette extractor that thinks like a curator, not a pixel counter. – Physics-based color repulsion – Auto-detects muted vs vibrant bias – Adaptive spacing to hit target count – OKLCh color space (perceptually uniform) Early Access: please break it! chipper-otter-d6c600.netlify.app

📣 NEW WORK! Excited to share my latest work with the Publications Office of the European Union 🇪🇺 I got to create 9 dataviz for 3 of the EU's monthly Data Stories, covering fascinating topics, from leisure, health and the future. See all the visuals here: www.visualcinnamon.com/portfolio/eu...

Just stumbled across this wonderful FREE book on "Engineers of Map Art" documenting over a decade of cartography at ETH Zurich. A quick scroll shows amazing maps 😍 👉 ebook: www.research-collection.ethz.ch/entities/pub... 👉 physical copy: karto.ethz.ch/en/publicati... Have fun reading!

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄

Out of curiosity, I made a notebook that turns an image into a csv grid and visualises it with gridviz, allowing you to manipulate each pixel: observablehq.com/d/0a51240cfc... Not that useful, but I thought it looked cool!
