I just published a full case study on Medium that documents every decision I made while building the Cyclone Ditwah data story.

The six iterations it took to land on the teardrop visualisation. Why I stripped the final section of all visual complexity. Why the Sankey diagram didn't work. And what my editor said made me throw out two weeks of work.

If you work in data visualisation, information design, or data journalism or if you're just curious about what the process actually looks like behind something like this, it's a 13-minute read.
