Hi, I’m Nathan Yau. This is The Process, the newsletter for FlowingData members that looks closer at how the charts get made. I wrote the first edition of Visualize This when I was still in school, and after a decade and a half of analyzing and visualizing data, I thought, “It’s time for a second edition.”
Reading the words of my younger self and revisiting that guy’s process was… educational. It was like reading an old diary. You recognize the person behind the words and remember the motivation behind the steps, but time and experience change the approach.
To access this issue of The Process, you must be a member. (If you are already a member, log in here.)
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.
