More pages from my dataviz sketchbook. This time I took some inspiration from my generative art experiments, and also from Phaidon's History of Information Graphics [https://www.taschen.com/pages/en/catalogue/graphic_design/all/03435/facts.history_of_information_graphics.htm] .

Here's another set of sketchbook pages! Lots of decorated shapes in this batch. I particularly like the page of flower-inspired layouts. Lots of fruit there for future visuals!

I've been holding off a little on posting this one, because it contains a bunch of concepts for a project that isn't yet out. But the project has stalled a bit, and I don't see any harm in exposing them to the world, so fill your boots.

Lots of length encodings today. Some lollipop charts (which I love), a few different approaches to back-to-back bars and overlapping bars, and then some rather weather-inspired graphical forms which could be used in all sorts of ways to depict data. Enjoy! Oh, and I almost forgot to mention - if

Back to charts for my latest set of sketchbook pages. Lexis diagrams [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexis_diagram], area charts, a xenographic [https://xeno.graphics/] concept called treemap bars that I really like for hierarchical data, and some new approaches on stacked bars. Enjoy!

Oops! It's been more than a month since I last published sketchbook pages. My only excuse is that I've been caught up in generative art [https://blog.duncangeere.com/tag/generative-art/] instead.

More pages from my sketchbook. I clearly don't know how to draw voronoi diagrams, but you get the idea. The line charts are my favourite!
