guess it's my last week @axios , still a bit shocked and sad that half our team was laid off, but grateful to have learned so much from my kind, brilliant @AxiosVisuals coworkers // one last chart roundup of some faves from the past two yearsāØ
ALT Collage of eight data visualizations produced with adobe illustrator, svelte, rawgraphs, and datawrapper. The visuals include a streamgraph, a cartogram, a small multiple beeswarm, a word cloud, a circle packing, a proportional area chart shaped like a room layout, a choropleth map and a dumbbell chart with a trendline.
NEW: Axios is laying off 50 people across the company. CEO @JimVandeHei just sent out this note ā which says the layoffs are because of āchanges in the media businessā

Abortion access in the U.S. is full of twists, turns, and roadblocks. To illustrate how difficult it is to get care, we built a maze for each state where the difficulty is calculated by the stateās policies. This is the United States of Abortion Mazes.

My toxic trait in dataviz is trying to do the most in a chart for no reason (what is yours?) // an ode to the graveyard graphics and delulu drafts
ALT Graphic showing three first drafts of a chart including a sankey, circle packing and dorling cartogram with a draft of the published circle packing chart. The published chart shows the 56 National Womenās Soccer League players who will be competing in the 2024 Summer Olympics representing 11 National Olympic Committees. NJ/NY Gotham FC and Orlando Pride have the most Olympians competing this summer with seven players each. The North Carolina Courage has five players representing five different National Olympic Committees.

It was super hard to make a chart that shows:
a) the number of people who have died in Gaza is very high
b) that number is very likely an underestimate, and
c) that number is very likely to rise dramatically if things don't change
Here are some drafts (I'm open to criticism)
