A blog about data visualisation and visualisations
Some context to this blog post – I’ve got a couple more blog posts on the go and viz projects that are a little bit stalled. I have every intention of getting them moving again in the near future, but on days like this when momentum is low, it’s nice to revert to some of […]
Before you skim down or look for a summary of my response to this particular dataviz question, I’m not even going to try and answer this question. I will at least discuss it though in the context of a recent project I created. First of all, here are two similar but different outputs of the […]
