I just added lots of new content to my website! lisacharlottemuth.com → #dataviz projects & articles I've worked on at @datawrapper.de in the past years → a new "Events" page with information about the Data Vis Meetup, the Data Vis Book Club, and the Unwrapped conference → an updated About me page
🐟 This is one of the weirder charts in my collection of examples: a set of fish icons to compare funds. I use it when I talk about visual variables. This chart uses SIZE as a visual variable in 15 different ways, to show 15 different aspects of a fund. 1/4
My colleagues at NYT came to my desk with cameras to make these videos. I'm so grateful to work in a place like this, doing what I love.
the roads of DC, colored by the closest metro line! using road/station data from Open Data DC and rendered with @threejs.org #maps #washingtondc #threejs
random slides from my lecture yesterday, titled ‘Intuitive Thinking and Computational Space.’
Might make some tweaks later once I start on the UI elements, and the suit locations will be randomized during the game, but we now have a level map for this project. Shoutout to @watabou.bsky.social and their awesome generators. #gamedev #indiegames #indiegamedev
The Catropolis metro. A subway system unlike any other: Every stop is a #cat breed, every line a separate family of felines. A unique and fun map to adorn your cat lover's home 😻 www.studiolegenda.com/produ... 🔹
Catropolis Metro
The official Catropolis Metro map, the only one of its kind. This English-language, B2-poster (50x70cm - 19.6x27.5in) contains every cat species and breed that exists (and once existed), together with many feline word jokes, references and a whole bu

It's been a _very_ long time, but I finally wrote an extensive full dataviz design creation blog post again! 🙌 You can read about all the ups and downs, what worked, when it spectacularly failed, of trying to create the GitHub Top Contributor Network here: www.visualcinnamon.com/2025/01/gith...

Blessings upon city and county GIS offices that make road and sidewalk polygons available, so that I can calculate just how much of a city has been sacrificed to the almighty automobile. (Looks like about 8% of Cincinnati.)

This is the sort of cartography modern tools cant *really* do well, simply because there is no antidote to a staggering amount of labor here:
This new Data Vis Dispatch is full of maps – and we love maps. But it also includes annotated lyrics, multiple lines, bracelets (yes!), and complex interactive visualizations. See them on our blog: https://blog.datawrapper.de/data-vis-dispatch-february-11-2025/
My latest project lets you explore the entire commit history of any GitHub repo ✨ Obviously, D3.js was one of the 1st repos I tested. You can clearly see the 3000+ commits made by its creator @ocks.org! But also @fil.rezo.net & many others. nbremer.github.io/ORCA/commit-...

Revisiting High Jump and Pole Vault Visualizations: Small Changes, Big Impact
During the Paris Olympics 2024, I created four animated visualizations of the high jump and pole vault finals. Here's a simple walkthrough of the process, showing how small tweaks to a well-known da...

Fargo, Severance, Black Mirror, Atlanta, Master of None, Euphoria – they all left their fans waiting for three years or more between seasons. In fact, we're waiting longer than ever for TV shows to return, as @lisacmuth.bsky.social shows in her Weekly Chart: blog.datawrapper.de/waittime-for...
This I what a series of paths created by 800 unmanned bicycles being pushed until they fall over looks like. Science is beautiful. Obviously they used the same few bicycles for the data rather than 800 individual one. Source: buff.ly/3Cnb4PP

PSA: Alphabetical order is often bad for geodata! I took the data from the WSJ article below and used a more natural geographical order; it makes it possible to see regional measles epidemics in 1935-36, the western polio outbreak, etc. Interactive notebook. observablehq.com/d/53c696e100...

Here is an animation of the percent of precipitation that falls as snow throughout the year. [Note: some of the summer snow colors are erroneous artifacts from the calculations I performed - not bad data.]
