Weekly Visualisation Highlights 04/01

Here’s some of my top picks for visualisations I’ve seen over the last week, mostly curated via twitter. Each does its own job well, and through a combination of artistry and data storytelling conveys complex information in a compelling manner.

Tuesday is #rayverse day, so here's something I'm experimenting with. I've done a number of population density maps of Japan but not like this. Thoughts, suggestions? Should the insets be oblique 3D? Would greatly appreciate feedback! #rayshader adventures, an #rstats tale pic.twitter.com/bgr9ZnMO8D

#4: Old Map of European Time Zones, Royal Library of Belgium

Different Times in European Cities;
KBR, Royal Library of Belgium

34 minutes before Madrid, 9 min. before Paris, but 1 min. after Amsterdam. In 1869, we would not have had New Year in Brussels at the same time as these cities. This Dosseray map from @kbrbe shows the different times of European cities
Happy New Year!https://t.co/x6bmA4uFSv pic.twitter.com/nANHzG6sOV
