A blog about data visualisation and visualisations
If you’ve read previous blog posts, you’ll know that I’m a fan of different and unusual chart types. If the chart types are visually interesting and striking, but don’t necessarily follow visualisation best practices, then, for me, sometimes, so much the better! I’ve blogged about, and attempted, sunburst charts, radial bump charts, bump charts, spiral […]
There are lots of ways you can interpret this question. As someone who asks and answers lots of data visualisation related questions, and themes an entire blog around it, I’ll touch on a few of them. Sorry about that … First of all, chess is a battle game between two armies. So you could say […]
I wanted to write a post about my inspirations in data visualisation. First of all, I feel a little bit uncomfortable citing inspirations, not because I feel uncomfortable expressing praise to others, but because I feel that as someone so inexperienced in the field, you might think that I am eliciting comparison. Please don’t think […]
At the start of the year were a lot of tweets, messages and blog posts covering predictions in data visualisation for the year ahead and people’s own resolutions for what they might do in a new and different way this year to develop their skills, experience and exposure.

I’ve been toying with a spiral chart for a while (for example, I […]
I’ll be honest – I don’t for a minute believe I have the standing, expertise, or width of knowledge and experience to comment on data visualisation generally in 2016 (or, similarly, to make predictions on future developments for 2017). But 2016 was an eventful year in my progression into the field of data visualisation. So […]
So, is it OK to steal? Of course not. In the data visualisation context, that would be passing someone else’s work off as your own. Anyone would agree that would be the wrong thing to do. But that would make a very short and uninteresting post. At the very least, I’m shooting for quite long […]
This question and therefore this post has come about as a result of a conference talk I am giving tomorrow. The overall conference theme is the Culture and Politics of Data Visualisation and I’m excited to have been asked to talk at an event for the first time. Specifically, my talk focusses around my professional […]
Because the gimmick of this blog seems to be to pose and answer a question in every post, I wasn’t sure whether to ask “How important is creativity …?” or “What is creativity …?” but either way creativity in data visualisations is what I want to talk about in this post. A little while ago […]
