Building Stories with Data

Published

October 4, 2022

So many ways of telling beautiful data stories in the showcase - and nice to see a few familiar #TidyTuesday faces there too!

Plot evoking a galaxy, showing the age at which astronauts went on their first mission, along with the number of missions the duration of each mission, and the time lag between male and female astronauts in the trend.

A bar graph which looks like it is built out of lego blocks showing the evolution of Lego colours over time. The introduction of more colours as the number of sets per year increases highlights the role that story-based sets played in growing the Lego brand.

Both of mine were made using #rstats. The code for these and for all my other TidyTuesday contributions is here. Help yourselves to any snippets you like!
