Why We Visualize

Created by: Ilena Peng

Many online data visualization communities center around personal projects and challenges, like #TidyTuesday or this annual Data Visualization Society challenge. These works are created on one’s own initiative, without any outside pay. According to DVS' 2021 State of the Industry survey, the top two reasons for pursuing unpaid side projects were to build skills and for enjoyment.

In the survey, respondents were given five phrases and asked to identify how much each phrase reflected their motivations for doing unpaid side projects. This graphic shows the responses of 239 DVS members, with color corresponding to how much they resonated with each phrase and size corresponding to the number of people who answered as such.
