After more than a year (!), I finally wrote another episode of the "What to consider..."-series. This time I talk about the do's and don'ts of using tables within articles: https://blog.datawrapper.de/tables/

Arrow plots with tooltips 😍 I think the visual design could be a bit better executed (colors, typo, symbols), but I'm in love with the idea. By @NatGeo@twitter.com, via @flowingdata@twitter.com: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/foodfeatures/diet-similarity/

A beautiful venue, inspiring talks, awesome sketchnotes (thank you, @apilapepita@twitter.com!), meeting lots of new people – what a great, great @vizknowledge@twitter.com conference 2019 here in Finland! Thanks for having me, and thanks for the flawless organization. #vk19

Even if you don't speak German, have a look at that #dataviz beauty by @zeitonline@twitter.com: https://www.zeit.de/politik/deutschland/2019-05/ost-west-wanderung-abwanderung-ostdeutschland-umzug

It has everything:
😍 animated maps with annotation
😍 small multiples
😍 zoomed in line charts
😍 beautiful dot circles

The best interactive story I've seen lately.

I had some fun looking for examples of callout lines in news graphics for a new post: https://blog.datawrapper.de/locatormap-calloutlines/ Thanks to @nytgraphics@twitter.com, @ReutersGraphics@twitter.com, @washingtonpost@twitter.com graphics team and especially @BBGVisualData@twitter.com for using so many great swoopy & straight lines pointing to things!

Really like the illustrations & logos by Daren Thomas Magee: https://www.realfunwow.com/ I'd love to see #dataviz in that style.

That was a fun chart to make in @Datawrapper@twitter.com! (Kudos to @rcbregman@twitter.com's book for the original.) https://blog.datawrapper.de/weeklychart-two-charts-one-scatterplot/

Two great hackathons are happening this weekend in Germany:

Gnihihi. A π chart! Get it? Get it?? (I like bad jokes.) https://blog.datawrapper.de/weeklychart-pichart/

Yesterday's Data Vis Book Club (@datavisclub) about RJ Andrews' "Info We Trust" was really fun. Thanks to @infowetrust for answering our questions, and to everyone who participated in the discussion! It's all preserved here: https://notes.datawrapper.de/p/bookclub-infowetrust

This whole article by @TmarcoH & @pabloroblesg by @SCMPgraphics is packed with great #dataviz, but the projection of this map is something else. Wow. https://multimedia.scmp.com/news/world/article/3000839/permafrost/?src=app
