Developing your data visualisation skills in ggplot2

We’ll be working through the process of developing a visualisation in ggplot2. Some knowledge of the tidyverse will be helpful, but all of the code in this session will be explained and available afterwards.

Abstract

In this session, we’ll be working through the process of developing a visualisation in ggplot2. We’ll start with a brand new dataset and create some exploratory plots; sketch out some ideas and decide what we want to communicate; build a basic plot in ggplot2; and then refine our chart to create something that’s artistic and aesthetic, yet effective. Some basic knowledge of the tidyverse will be helpful, but all of the code in this session will be explained and made available afterwards.
