Here are the charts I made for the #30DayChartChallenge organised by Cédric Scherer and Dominic Royé on Twitter. Like the 30 Day Map Challenge 2020, I found out about it the night before it started. I managed two weeks of daily chart-making before bowing out.
It was a fun and interesting exercise to experiment with different types of data visualisation. (However, I think my main take-away is that maps are the best thing for looking place-names, and when a map won’t do bar charts are just fine!)
The title of each day’s category and topic links to my original tweet where there’s more information about the chart.
