Take everything you know, and use it for evil
The textbook spent lots of time showing you how to create different types of graphics, but I spent a lot less time showing you all of the different ways you could customize graphics ggplot2 or plotnine. In this problem, I want you to create the ugliest version of the following graphs you can, and then explain why, exactly, you made the decisions you did, and which principles of good graphics you’ve intentionally violated.
Ugliness is subjective, so the goal here is for you to explore the different ways you can customize the finer details of graphics. Make sure your finished masterpiece has appropriate axis labels and a title (after all, even ugly plots need to be correctly labeled!). You are free to add additional variables and layers, modify the aesthetics used, and leverage other packages. I have provided this code as a starting point, not as a way to limit your creativity.
