30DayMapChallenge 2021

Here are my entries for the 30DayMapChallenge 2021 that I published daily on Twitter from 1-30th Nov 2021. The challenge was started by Topi Tjukanov and has some really amazing and inspiring entries. Three of my visualizations made it in the Top 10 posts: Day3, Day17, Day20.

Some of these visualizations had to be programmed from scratch so it also involved some intense backend coding. I will write up guides on these on the Stata Guide on Medium.

A lot goes in making a map including finding the data, getting it in the right shape, parsing it through other softwares (I also used R, Python, GDAL). Below is the list of softwares used for rendering the final map:

Software Count Entries
Stata 20 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,12,13,16,17,18,19,20,22,23,26,27
Aerialod 3 11,21,39
Photos/screenshots 3 15,24
Online tools (Flourish/Datawrapper) 2 14,25
QGIS 1 10,27
