A colleague recently pointed out the #30DayChartChallenge. It reminds me of the old flickr photography challenges, groups with a topic for each day or week. It challenges you to be creative, to find something that is new and useful, with something concrete to play with.
Transferring this to charts … hey, that’s clever and interesting. Might be well-worth the time to challenge yourself and get more fluent in charts. And yeah, there’s also the tidytuesday-project — with weekly challenges, but that one focuses only on R (a language for statistics and visualizations). The #30DayChartChallenge is tool-agnostic.
Oh, and one of the best things about that page — the recommendations (see Chart Type Selection on that #30DayChartChallenge page). The links are incredible, among others to From data to Viz with brilliant guides to select graphs or their page on caveats in visualizations.
Highly recommended. 🙂
