Welcome to The Process, where we look closer at how the charts get made. This is issue #243. I’m Nathan Yau, and after a short distraction with fake charts, we’re back on meaningful visualization practice. This week is about switching up your audience, because the charts you make and how you make them should adapt to who you make the charts for.

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.
