About Makeover Monday
MakeoverMonday is a social data project: “Each week we post a link to a chart, and its data, and then you rework the chart. Maybe you retell the story more effectively, or find a new story in the data. We’re curious to see the different approaches you all take. Whether it’s a simple bar chart or an elaborate infographic, we encourage everyone of all skills to partake. Together we can have broader conversations about and with data.”
Starting from Jan 08, 2018, I decided to put aside one hour on Monday weekly to create some visualization and find some insights from the data.
The datasets are published each week at: MakeoverMonday Datasets.

It’s the last week of 2019!!! And the dataset wraps 2019 #MakeoverMonday well – it’s the dataset downloads of #MakeoverMonday since 2016. There is no better dataset to conclude this journey than this. The original viz is a simple bar chart of the top downloaded datasets.
My Visualization
Instead of showing which dataset is downloaded most, I think showing how the downloads have grown tell a more impressive story.
Also, I feel the best thing about #MakeoverMonday is that you can always learn something new – I used the size card of Gantt plot for the first time this week.

Insights
- #MakeoverMonday downloads surged since 2019W39(09/23), and reached a record high downloads of 952 on W47 (11/18);
- However, last year it has always been pretty low at ~ 40 downloads – wondering when did data.world become the official dataset post site;
- Not an insight, but I am curious that how the submission trend looks like – does it follow the same pattern of downloads, or we will see a huge drop of submission rate after W39? (sadly the submission tracker dash is not downloadable, so I cannot find the answer lol).
