@MaryseMonen @storywithdata Can't wait to dig in 🤩

[Kat Hou @kat_hou_]

Better late than never, finally getting started on my data viz book collection 🤩

[Kat Hou @kat_hou_]

@sarahlovesdata Yes! Can't wait to get started. I'd been listening to her podcast so naturally it made sense to start with this one 😃

@yam_caroline Thanks Caroline! Honestly, no real reason between which colour I chose in the texts - wanted to highlight some of them to point out the insights so they don't get lost in the rest of the texts. Happy to hear suggestions on how else to do that!

First #MakeoverMonday in 3 months 🙈 W9 on % of women holding national parliament seats in the EU. Did a quick linear forecast* to see when the EU would reach gender parity (26 years!...) (*cont. in comments).

Feedback is welcomed! #DataFam #MMVizReview

*I realize that it's not as simple as using a linear forecast based on just 13 or so years of past data to see when gender parity would be reached and that there are numerous factors that would influence this, but had just wanted to see what the trends were looking like overall.

@ScottKimly @tableaupublic Hope you’re doing okay in lockdown! 😅

@ScottKimly @tableaupublic Ps did not realize you were also in Melbourne!

Originally had purple and grey but felt that the traditional media grey text and numbers were getting lost 🤷‍♀️

Week 46's #MakeoverMonday - USA ad spend on traditional media vs the internet in the past, present, and future. Couldn't decide whether the dual colours of purple and blue were too distracting...

@KevinWee90 @tableaupublic @CharlieHTableau @TriMyData I really like that you've combined both rank and amount spent in one chart!

Taiwan hit 200 days without a locally transmitted case - so proud of my home country! Fun fact: Taiwan's population of 23.8M w/ just a 180km (110 mi)-wide strait separating from China kept their cases to 553 (in total!) & never went into lockdown 🎉 Think I'll do a viz on this 🤔

[TIME @TIME]

While many countries around the world are hitting new highs in coronavirus cases, Taiwan has achieved a different kind of record—200 days without a locally transmitted case https://t.co/VgAlcq7nHH

@fredffery @tableaupublic @Mapbox I’m surprised Australia is included! I don’t feel like Halloween is celebrated here at all compared to back home in Canada 😭

[Kat Hou @kat_hou_]

Updated #MakeoverMonday W43 to emphasize that while lockdowns negatively impacted exports for all countries, strict lockdowns were impacted 2x more than no lockdowns.

Thanks to @alainaprevot & @jtran_91 for feedback on the first version 😊
