This book was an incredible experience. I loved it, and I can't wait to try data gathering myself.

The best book that I've read in 2020. Absolutely endearing to see how the book turns data - which is usually impersonal - into something so intimate and affectionate.

I usually pick up these kinds of books for practical data visualization inspiration/techniques. It's a creative idea, but I just didn't really see a connection for directly implementing anything from this book.

Sweet and inspiring for ways to visualize your life in data. I donβt have the patience to track some of the things depicted but appreciated the journey, the patterns and insight between these two friends. Sparked some personal visualization for myself.

Stefanie and Giorgia document their lives in colorful data art. Every week, they collect data on an element of each of their lives. They then make creative dataviz postcards from their data and send it to each other.
For readers looking for π: dataviz, a creative art project, and an examination of what makes up our daily moments.
My thoughts π: I loved reading this collection of #Dataviz postcards sent between Georgia and Stefanie. Each card visually represented elements of their daily lives, from the number of sounds heard in the first minute of every hour to the books on their shelves. I loved reading their postcards and seeing the different forms that their self-reflections took throughout the book. I recommend reading the physical book. I had a rough time trying to read the ebook. I'm also delighted that one of the authors is from #LovelandColorado.

I wish I could rate this higher than five stars - honestly, I really do. This book has inspired me endlessly! As a graphic design enthusiast (and budding graphic designer), this was a huge amount of motivation and it has inspired me to start collecting my own data sets and illustrating them in quirky ways.
This is a brilliant book and I would 100% recommend it! I am so happy that I read this - and I recommend all of you to at least flick through it; it's one of the most wonderful reads I have partaken in. I love the way it is presented too - it's so enjoyable, light but yet so intensely inspiring.
I just ADORE everything about it! BEAUTIFUL.
Well worth the wait - I've been following dear data online for a little while now and it's so amazing to have a physical copy of these wonderful postcards.

I love collecting data, this is a newfound love. And I'm starting to explore different ways to create data visualizations. This book was a super neat way of showing how many opportunities we have in our daily lives of collecting data, how we can recognize patterns in our lives, and how we can get creative with how we display the information. I enjoyed this a lot, but also realize I'm sort of a nerd and this sort of thing isn't for everyone.
