Star Wars Viewership: Waffle Chart & Pie Chart

For this analysis of Star Wars viewers by age group and gender, I used R with ggplot2 for data visualization and tidyverse for data wrangling. The waffle package was utilized to create a visually intuitive waffle chart, effectively representing proportional audience demographics. Additionally, I designed a clean and informative pie chart using ggplot2, leveraging forcats to manage categorical variables. The dataset, sourced from FiveThirtyEight, was processed using dplyr to ensure accurate aggregation and meaningful insights into Star Wars fandom demographics.

LeBron James Visualization

For this basketball shot chart, I used R with ggplot2 for visualizing LeBron James’ shot attempts and efficiency during the 2013 and 2020 championship runs. I processed the data using dplyr and tidyverse, ensuring clean and structured datasets before plotting. The court design and shot markers were customized using ggplot2's layering system, providing a clear and engaging comparison of his shot distribution over time.

Geospatial Visualization

This geospatial visualization was created in R using ggplot2 and sf to plot migration patterns of White-Fronted Geese across Europe and Northern Asia. The base map was built using rnaturalearth, while ggmap and ggspatial were used to overlay geolocation data. The dataset was processed with dplyr to extract relevant observations, ensuring an accurate and informative representation of migration trends.

Geoanimation

For this geospatial animation of Blackpoll Warbler migration across the Americas, I used R with ggplot2, gganimate, and sf to visualize movement patterns over time. The animation was built using gganimate, which allowed for a dynamic representation of the birds' seasonal migration. Spatial data was processed with sf and rnaturalearth, while dplyr was used for data wrangling and filtering. This project highlights the warblers' incredible journey, providing an engaging way to explore avian migration through data visualization.
