There are also dedicated State pages, which can be found two ways. If you hover over any bar, you see a popup, which has an Explore button. Or, you can use the site-wide navigation at the top of the page, which is a more keyboard accessible way to navigate across pages

In addition to bar height, we added a second layer of data encoding: using color to show how far above or below the population line the bar is. In this example, Black women are categorized as "Severely under-represented" in Mississippi.
Main bar chart view of the data explorer website, https://stateofmydemocracy.org/. This view show the percent of Black Women in each State Senate, one bar per state. The bar for Mississippi is highlighted, displaying the text: "Only 5.8% of state senators in Mississippi are Black Women, despite being 21% of the state's population."

The central visualization is a bar chart of all 50 states, comparing the amount of women in the State House or Senate to the overall population of the state (the small black line). The chart can be re-loaded to show sub-groups, such as Women of Color, Latina Women, etc.
Main bar chart view of the data explorer website, https://stateofmydemocracy.org/. This view show the percent of Women in each State Senate, one bar per state. The right most bar for South Carolina is highlighted, displaying the text: "Only 10.9% of state senators in South Carolina are Women, despite being 52% of the state's population."

Seeing this makes me wish for a Heavy Metal Parking Lot doc but for the upcoming Turnstile / Blink 182 tour. Capture Gen Z in all their glory. Someone make it happen

If I tried to create something like this purely digitally, by distressing fonts, it would have taken way longer, and looked forced. Also, it gave me an opportunity to flip through these zines again, and check out all this great art!

All of these are from "Blatch", a mid 80s zine featuring weird art and punk interviews/record reviews (I can't remember where I found these copies, but this is why I love having print media around!) The shitty printing resulted in imperfections around the edges of the letters.

Had some fun this weekend making a flyer for my new bands first show. Created the logotype by assembling together individual letters from headlines in old 80s punk fanzines. See the next post for more details
Flyer announcing the first show of DC band Cryptid Summer, on Sunday October 9th. The flyer consists of a moody, dark black and white illustration of a moon, and hands reaching across the moon. Above the moon is the logotype "CRYPTID SUMMER", assembled from different letterforms.

A lot of care was taken by
@EconInclusion
to make sure the communities in the Twin Cities are represented & the data reflects their experiences. Like this view, showing that the Hmong community experiences employment discrimination at a higher rate than other Asian groups
A bar chart showing "Percent of Minnesotans who report having experienced employment discrimination", in the Indicators for an Inclusive Regional Economy site. This is the refocused view, with "Asian (excluding Hmong)" category the new point of reference. The mouse has hovered over the bar for "Hmong", and shows a tooltip with the following text: "Compared to Asian (excluding Hmong) Minnesotans, 10 percentage points more Hmong Minnesotans report having experienced discrimination due to their race or ethnicity when applying for a job"

The homepage features a connections visualization, showing the 19 Indicators included in the site, and the data availability of various cultural community groups. The user can hover over either side of the chart to see the granularity of data disaggregation for any indicator
A visualization featured on the home page of Center for Economic Inclusion's new visualization platform. It shows the 19 Indicators included in the site, and the data availability of the various cultural communities that live in the Twin Cities area. This view shows that the Indicator "Four-year college graduation rates" includes data for Asian, Black, Hispanic, Indigenous, and White, but does not have data for the other cultural communities.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I also appreciated the level of humility and self reflection so many of the presenters had. And great meeting you!

Never meet your heroes, they say. Well, I haven't. And that's a good thing. Here's a personal recap of one week at #eyeo2022 and why I was wrong to not be “wrong” sooner.

are subjective decisions but must be justifiable, which we do through our own reasoning and intuition, as well as deep convos w/ clients and their users
A slide from Alberto Cairo's talk at #eyeo2022. Text on the slide: The pragmatic shift in visualization design: Designing visualizations doesn't consist of applying any "rules": Rather, it's based on making justifiable—ethically and functionally—choices according to certain goals and within various constraints. All decisions in visualization design are subjective. That said, a decision can be both subjective and justifiable through reasoning, conversation with others, and observation of how readers react to the visualization.

Heartbroken over this. Thanks for this beautiful writeup. Her music was really important to me. She gets to live on through her collabs with David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti, as new generations will discover her voice whenever someone watches Twin Peaks for the first time

Very familiar w this style. I started learning photoshop around this time, when I was in high school (‘99-‘03), and would make my own fan art for artists like Nine Inch Nails or movies like the Crow, using tons of layers and blending mode effects.

Bandcamp’s editorial staff may be smaller than most but it is one of the most diverse teams in not just music journalism, but media in general. Their collective exit from social media is… concerning, to say the least.

looks like the @Bandcamp // @EpicGames merger has had some effect on Bandcamp’s editorial element — both @modernistwitch and @jzcamp’s twitters appear to have been wiped. will be very sad to see an outlet as intentional BC Daily and its staff go if that’s what this means.

Wait, what?!
@modernistwitch
's voice on twitter was hugely important, beyond the editorial work Jes did for bandcamp. Huge loss to the "discourse" as they say. I wish we had insight into how staff at bandcamp are responding to their company being bought by Epic.

deeply sceptical of bandcamp's sale to epic as well as the idea that a perfectly good - and presumably stable - product "has to grow" / "has to seek out exciting new avenues". sometimes the most artist friendly thing is doing one thing well and with stability

This is a really weird choice. As a bandcamp user (I have three music projects I maintain bandcamp pages for), I already feel like the product as-is meets my needs. And the independence of the company aligned w/ the prime user base (independent musicians)

, this is really cool to see! Here is my version from a few years back. I started it out from birth, showing the some activities span back to childhood. Other fade and new ones take their place (stopped painting in college and picked up guitar instead)
Infographic titled “Carni Klirs - Spare Time Over a Lifetime”. It is a chart, with time on the X axis, showing how much time I spend on different activities, and how that’s changed over my life
