Iโm currently teaching data visualization with R and Python to over 1,000 people, and I absolutely love it! โค๏ธ
Each course includes a Discord channel where students share their charts and get constructive feedback.
โ โA common struggle
Hereโs something Iโve noticed: most students are great at coding, creative, and know the dataviz best practices. โ But many still struggle with design.
They produce charts that are technically correct but not very pleasant to look at. โ So what really makes the difference, once your plot is theoretically correct, between a polished, professional-looking chart and one that feels... off or untrustworthy?
Youโll see pairs of charts side-by-side and must choose which one looks better. โ Each pair highlights one key design concept that can elevate your charts from โmehโ to โwow.โ โ That's the first question:
โ
Hopefully, this little game will help you elevate your design skills!

A shoutout
I got the idea from Canโt Unsee โ a similar game focused on UI design that Iโm a big fan of.
Thanks to Diana MacDonald for the original beautiful charts! I just created โdegradedโ versions of them and built the game around it. ๐ โ
Try it out and let me know
This is just the very first version, and Iโm eager to hear your feedback.
Did you like it? What could be better? What design caveat is missing? โ Please hit reply and share your thoughts! ๐
See you next week, โ
Yan โ PS: I love pushing the boundaries of online learning. If you like this game you'll love my R and Python dataviz courses! โ
