Hi, and happy Thursday! This week I’m attending the Information+ conference in Edinburgh 🌧️ While I interact with the amazing dataviz community and learn new things, I still wanted to show up in your inbox at the usual time. But with a different approach.
We often discuss somewhat philosophical questions here on The Plot: feedback, mission, process, etc. But it’s also healthy to go back to basics every once in a while. So this newsletter is a recap of some of the most liked editions from the past. Editions that go back to the fundamental dataviz principles that we (or, rather, I) sometimes put aside.
Let’s dive in!

Does your text hurt my eyes?
Don’t overdose on pie.
Right can sometimes be right.
Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you next week!

P.S. I’ve got an exciting announcement:
Black Friday for learning? Yes, please.
I’m sure by now you know that I run a public data storytelling course. If you’ve been thinking about enrolling to learn how to tell impactful stories with data, now is the time! Starting tomorrow, a 25% discount will be applied to all subscriptions for four days. Use the code MAVENMONDAY, and I’ll see you there!
