Data visualization and Information Design with Python and R
Data Visualization Practice
"There is a magic in graphs. The profile of a curve reveals in a flash a whole situation
— the life history of an epidemic, a panic, or an era of prosperity. The curve informs
the mind, awakens the imagination, convinces." - Henry D. Hubbard.
Visualizing data is as important as knowing what to do with them. I've been a visual
person since I was a kid. The people close to me know that I'm one step closer to
finishing it when a book has pictures in it. Most science books
have any visual tool (photographs, charts, plots, diagrams, illustration, etc.), and I
think that's why I'm into science (and mostly physics). The better we visualize data,
the better we can understand the problem and communicate the solution.
To me, Data Visualization is like telling a story. Consequently, I treat my projects with
patience and dedication, like a scientist writting a research paper.
Here you can find mini-projects where I practice my Data Visualization skills.
Use it as you like it:
- practice,
- inspiration
- help with data visualizations
Most of the plots are going to be on my Instagram account

What's in the repository?
I organized this repository the following way:
- 📂 Folders ➡️ Data Visualization tool (programming language or software)
- (inside) 📂 Folders ➡️ Data visualization projects (name)
- (inside) 📚 Resources ➡️ the final charts (a folder named images), the code and external links (not all the times).
