Welcome to issue #230 of The Process, where we look closer at how the charts get made. I’m Nathan Yau, and I’ve been visualizing data for a while now. Long enough I think to be considered one of the old guys? I still enjoy it, but many from my cohort lost interest, moved to different fields, got stuck in existential dread, or are looking for something else.

The Process is a weekly newsletter on how visualization tools, rules, and guidelines work in practice. I publish every Thursday. Get it in your inbox or read it on FlowingData.
You also gain unlimited access to hundreds of hours worth of step-by-step visualization courses and tutorials, which will help you make sense of data for insight and presentation. Resources include source code and datasets so that you can more easily apply what you learn in your own work.
Your support keeps the rest of FlowingData open and assures the data keeps flowing freely.
