Here are the posts that I followed this week: (i) Jamie Hudson's (ii) Blake Robert Mill's

Codes/tools/approaches we have seen in class that you saw used over the week

The codes that we have seen and have used for quite some time in class are: library(), geom_point , geom_jitter() , aes(x,y) , %>% , read_csv() , annotate() , font <- , mutate , and pivot_ , filter() .

Codes/tools/approaches that you enjoyed or that surprised you that we have not seen in class

The tools that I enjoyed or that surprised me that we have not seen in class include: lat <- c(min,max) , long <- c(min,max) , make_bbox , animate() , transition_reveal(time) .

Data visualizations (figures) that you enjoyed

I am in love with Jamie Hudson's diagram! I love the time lapse! It delivers the point of the figure well. I will for sure incorporate visual effects similar to Jamie Hudson's graph when I get to that level. The contrast in colour also emphasizes the focus of the diagram. I also like Blake Robert Mill's design. It gives off a 'track' vibe where it shows the runners as the colour coded lines running around an oval. The colours blend really well. The graph is overall simple and informative!

Data visualization (figures) that could be improved (and how you would improve them)

I don't see any noticeable factors that need constructive criticism. Though it isn't necessary, maybe I would change the placing of the text, as well as the font and colour in Jamie Hudson's diagram.
