Congrats to @nadiehbremer.com on her successful launch at Outlier yesterday! I can't wait to see more people fall in love with this book. From seeing the mock ups to holding it in my hand, I don't think this book could have come out any more beautiful.

The book cover for "Chart: Designing Creative Data Visualizations from Charts to Art" by Nadieh Bremer. The title is in large, ornate white letters against a black background, with a colorful, abstract pattern on the left and right edges.

An open book displaying a detailed data visualization with a network of connected circles and hexagons, some labeled with words like "VOCAL MUSIC," "DANCE," "WEDDING," and "POETRY." The background is a faint hand-drawn sketch.
