The art of using data is ensuring that it moves people to action; these stories are no less fragile.
One of the clearer roots of the problem is the wretched state of American policing, which has been in dire need of reform for longer than I’ve been alive; a rallying call of the 2020 movement has been “Defund the Police”. I’ve not looked into police spending to know how much is too much, so I decided to do a comparative analysis of some American and international cities to see what their police budgets looked like.
I actually don’t spend that much time working with Tableau, so in the last year I’m a little out of practice. I went back to my training to restart my practice; do something you’re passionate about, and draw it out first.
The story of The Warming Stripes needs little in the way of explicit direction, which is also why it is so adaptable to odd media (like ties and earrings).
