Welcome to The Process, the newsletter for FlowingData members where we look closer at how the charts get made. I’m Nathan Yau. In the land of what-if and what-about, it’s surprisingly easy to get stuck staring at your work, thinking about how your audience will hate it.

Welcome to The Process, where we look closer at how the charts get made. This is issue #243. I’m Nathan Yau, and after a short distraction with fake charts, we’re back on meaningful visualization practice.

Welcome to issue #172 of The Process, the newsletter for FlowingData members about how the charts get made. I’m Nathan Yau, and this week I was thinking about… spirals? What.
I was going to grace you with my 10,000-word thought piece on the nature of spiral charts and their relationship to life itself, but I’m placing it on the back burner for now. Sorry.
