The idea for Day 29 "Experimental" of the #30DayMapChallenge evolved quite some time ago - and I am very happy with the result of #world #population stripes! Each stripe represents the distribution of humans on a latitudinal gradient from North to South and a width of 25km.

There are certainly worse places to prepare a workshop. But also there are certainly more great things to do in NYC than preparing workshops... #iibawards #dataviz #ggplot2 #rstats #workshop

As I am *always* using the lovely {patchwork} monster artwork from @allison_horst to explain the basic functionality (left), I thought it's cool to create the drawing with #ggplot2 (right) for the #rstudioconf workshop on graphic design 🤓📈 #rstats #rstudioconf2022 #tidyverse

Don't worry, we are going to create some #dataviz and #maps with #ggplot2 as well tomorrow! 💪 The focus is on colors and palettes — buuuut I couldn't resist so we'll cover some other customization tricks as well. Register here: #rstats
