‘FlowingData’ by Nathan Yau. This year was a weird one. It seemed like every day there was something to be mad or sad about, and it all happened at such a fast pace. This carried over to the news and the type of visualization work we saw this year. Graphics from the major media orgs were less big and more deadline-heavy. Everything had to work on mobile, which carries with it screen limitations and depth limitations. Here are my ten favorite data visualization projects of the year.

‘FlowingData’ explores how statisticians, designers, data scientists, and others use analysis, visualization, and exploration to understand data and ourselves.

On 15 January. Kath Viner, editor-in-chief (2017 Guardian News & Media) ‘The Guardian’ editor Katharine Viner has said the newspaper will print in tabloid size from 15 January, dropping its existing Berliner proportions. She said while there would be a few ‘surprises’ the Guardian would be largely the same in the new, smaller format.

The cost-savings are all in production and printing processes rather than the journalism. So maybe it’s more explanatory, maybe it’s more ‘keepable’, maybe it’s more ‘visual-beautiful’.

‘France Football’ se refait une beauté. Le magazine du Ballon d'Or se réinvente au travers d'une formule inédite. Hebdomadaire de référence depuis 1946, ‘France Football’ fait ici un joli clin d'oeil à ses anciens formats, notamment à ceux des années 1980 et 90.
