• the ggplot() function initiates a plot, and geom_ functions add representations of your data
• use aes() when mapping a variable from the data to a part of the plot
• use scale_ functions to modify the scales used to represent variables
• use premade theme_ functions to broadly change appearance, and the theme() function to fine-tune
• start simple and build your plots iteratively
