How do you create 31 visualisations in a month?

Some might say, the question should be “Why …” – and I don’t have an answer to that, other than to describe my thought processes from my last post, on the first day of May, where I set myself this challenge. A visualisation a day, all on the theme of one album. Did I complete […]

When are multiple visualisations better than one?

This post is partly inspired by a recent post from Ben Jones explaining his love for dot plots here.  Like Ben, I do enjoy dot plots, and it got me thinking that it would be good to go back to basics from the point of view of a data visualisation blog: when was the last […]

How do you visualise to a pre-determined design?

This is another post that’s quite difficult to frame into a question, but I want to take the opportunity to show off a bit about my latest album cover themed data visualisation project. After all, it’s a niche (some might say pointless) thing I’m doing, so why not justify it with some writing, pictures and, […]

How was it for you?

One of the reasons I love data visualisation and I enjoy producing what I might consider to be data art (many would disagree, but as with all art, isn’t there always the “is that art?” or “I don’t know what’s art but I know what I like” debate?) is the very fact that the same […]
