Your Turn: Build a Data Poster
Congrats! 🥳 You've completed the fourth module! You now know how to structure multi-panel visualizations with facets, nested hierarchies, and patchwork compositions.
Now, let's put your skills into practice: build a publication-readydata poster that tells a cohesive story using the World Happiness Report dataset.
🎯 The Challenge
You've learned how to split data into small multiples, build hierarchical facets, and compose multi-plot layouts with patchwork. Now it's time to bring it all together!
Your goal: build a data poster — a multi-panel visualization that tells a cohesive story using the World Happiness Report dataset. Think of it as a one-page visual summary that someone could glance at and immediately understand the key insights.
