Hey I'm working a list of "Data Viz dos and don't s"
So far I've collected a few points from Edward Tufte:
- Y-Axis should start a 0
- Check the "Lie Factor": size of a graphic effect divided by the size the effect in the data, it should be close to 1
- "Chart chunk" aka. "Data-to-Ink" ratio: don't use any unnecessary elements which distract from the communication of the data
What else to add?
I created some #COVIDー19 charts, maps & tables that show the numbers in ...more relative terms. I'm curious what you all think:
👉 Charts I should still build?
👉 Charts I should remove because they're irresponsible?
👉 Data sources I should consider?
Anyone gave Echarts a try?

Hey anyone knows a nice starting point to get my feet wet with observable?

Just paid US$55 for another month of vis.social hosting. I'd love more small, ongoing support here:
Other options:
People talk a lot about limiting global warming to 2 ºC. But what happens if we don't? In this pretty drastic chart, my colleague @gka explains what different stages of the ongoing climate crisis could look like (it's bad) 🔥 https://blog.datawrapper.de/climate-crisis-global-warming/
It is proven! I am gka on Keybase: https://keybase.io/gka/sigchain#81c45478031db96817b37b784fc3c89afb5f0da13192aba9f287c7fc891d1d790f

I built a Datawrapper chart that doesn't look like a Datawrapper chart anymore 🤔
This is also the last Weekly Chart that I wrote...weekly. Starting next week, all of us start charting & writing. I explain the reasons here: https://blog.datawrapper.de/weekly-chart-why-you-will-hear-more-from-other-datawrapper-employees/
I updated the #color palette helper I made 5 years ago! Lots of new features:
- quick-editing of input colors
- added charts for saturation+hue
- added colorblind check and simulator
- fixed url serialization bug
Happy coloring!
Until the end of August, the @datavisclub@twitter.com will work through "Observe, Collect, Draw!" by @stefpos@twitter.com & @giorgialupi@twitter.com. I wrote about why you should join us here: https://blog.datawrapper.de/datavis-bookclub-stefanie-posavec-giorgia-lupi-observe-collect-draw/ #observecollectdraw #deardata
I thought it's fun to document my process in the following tweets:
A little present #chrimas present for all #environmental #researchers and #datajournalist :D
The #responsive #webdesign of EnviDat is now online.
Have a look: https://www.envidat.ch
Shameless selfpromotion coming in 😆 :
I've released the Game Deru, it's an #minimalistic, #puzzle #game for two players. It's purely cooperative and designed as a couch co-op experience.
Since you guys are interested in #design, it might be something for you :D
Here is the trailer:
