After the #GPT5 chart failure, I also discovered that Anthropic is promoting benchmark increases with... a truncated y-axis bar chart.

Just a reminder: #dataviz isn't intrinsically good or bad. Like other forms of communication, it can -and will- be used for propaganda as well.

By the way, the photo is from 2012.

OMG #visualized will be back!! Visualized share.google/tOOaw9XSEVa4...

A poster showing icons for 40 different visualization types, categorized by goal – e.g. "showing shares" or "showing flows" or "showing developments over time".

📊 There are *so* many chart types out there. Which one should you use for what kind of data and goal?

I tried to answer the question in a new blog post (and poster!): www.datawrapper.de/blog/chart-t...

We’re thrilled to unveil the winners of the 2024 #IIBAwards! These works stand out not just for their mastery of #dataviz and storytelling, but for their impact and innovation. See the winners: www.informationisbeautifulawards.com/news/680-ann...

What is #dataviz animation good for? An updated thread with examples.

Not sure if this falls into the #scrollytelling category, but this is a very clever way to use social media to show a #dataviz.

I want to nominate @aborruso.bsky.social for the next @eff.org award.
He opens up Italian public data with civic passion and precision.

A proto bar chart by Buache 1767. Titled: Echelle du Pont de la Touradelle. The columns show the height of water in the months Jan. - Dec, probably averaged over several years. Horizontal lines show some events, like a flood in 1740.

A similar chart from 1770 for the Seine, with a numerical table at the top.

Portrait of Phillipe Buache

📊 #dataviz #history Who invented the bar chart? Everyone credits William Playfair in his 1785 Commercial and Political Atlas

I give that honor to the cartographer Phillipe Buache for lovely 1767 chart of the heights of water along the Seine.

But there's more ⬇️

Chinese visualization gallery

This collection of ancient Chinese visualizations deserves some of your time. It's another example that visualization isn't a Western world invention.

Thanks to @infowetrust.com for highlighting this gem.

Minimalism and the absurdity of the data-to-ink-ratio How much minimalism is too much minimalism? I explore this question and propose the most minimalist, highest scoring data-to-ink ratio on a visualization ever made as a thought piece. Why? Well novice...

I wrote about the data-to-ink ratio and a new game I've invented called "ink golf" for data visualization.

I hope you enjoy:

Data visualization Data visualizations are helpful tools for conveying complex data in an engaging and understandable way. They're commonly used in dashboards and insights pages.

Github is developing the #dataviz section of their design system. I particularly like the practical approach taken in the color section where it acknowledges that traditional accessibility issues simply cannot be addressed in viz using non-viz UI approaches.

Information+ Conference 2025

Info+ submissions are open!

This year's theme is around ENERGY (which I personally think dovetails with Outlier's "Reimagining" theme nicely). If you have an interesting perspective to share in the world of #dataviz and information design more broadly: informationplusconference.com/2025/submiss...
