Highlights
This is the first donut chart of the challenge. I'm very happy with the final result. It was a complicated recreation, with some obstacles that I was able to overcome. I'm very proud of what I have achieved.
- I liked getting a visualization of another German newspaper, this is the second one. Sometimes I tend to fall a lot into the media I know or the most popular ones, but I like to be able to diversify and get to know new newspapers.
- There are some minor issues with the chart update and mouse-over that I decided to overlook, I also completely ignored the mobile version. Since this is a personal challenge, I think it's acceptable not to aim for absolute "perfection".
- In the future, I want to create visualizations that prioritize accessibility and inclusivity, taking into account the diverse needs of users. Recreating visualizations helps me understand what works and what doesn't, allowing me to redefine my style. If you're interested in accessibility in data visualization, I recommend checking out Sarah Fossheim's portfolio. Her latest article on the topic is very insightful. is very insightful.
