🪷 The Pond #2: Be unfrogettable
Getting ready for summer
by Ada Homolova · June 17, 2025
Getting ready for summer
For the past few weeks, I’ve been paws-deep in data visualization theories while preparing my upcoming course on data storytelling. It’s been a fascinating journey. Dusting off whatever Tufte was saying, zooming in on Gestalt principles - I’ll be sharing some of what I found here in The Pond.
Before this frog takes off for the summer, there is still a chance for one last data visualization course at a reduced price for you!
And if you missed it: In my latest YouTube video I drew some question marks around Florence Nightingale’s dataviz choices.

🎥 Choosing the Right Chart
Last week, I planned a YouTube live session all about how to choose the right form for your data. I also did not realize that it was a national holiday in half of Europe. Luckily, YouTube is forever!
