Vizzes

Catch this week’s Viz of the Days here and subscribe to get them emailed directly to your inbox. 

Check out some inspirational vizzes created by the community: 

• 2021年 - 台灣鮭魚之亂 Bill Chen (陳克勤), some context: Last week, a Japanese company in Taiwan put out a promotion for people to eat for free or with a discount if they had the name “Salmon” in Chinese or a name that sounds close to it. This viz shows the number of people that changed their name to qualify for the discount. Each salmon head indicates a different city in Taiwan and the number of people from that area that changed their name.
