Best packages to learn?
I'd suggest you have a look at cheatsheets (or download them from GitHub) if you want to get to know your way around a package or set if functions, it saves you a lot of time.

How do I make these shapes (pictured below) in ggplot?
You could use geom_hline and geom_vline, geom_abline, or geom_segment for this. (The ggplot cheat sheet is very useful for answering these kinds of questions, BTW.)
-
Why does my scatter plot look like this?
I can't say for sure because I don't know what your ultimate aim is for your visualization. Check out the cheat sheet for ggplot2 here.

Import from Excel
Finally just do your analysis. You should also should give a try and see the cheat sheet for data importing on the tidyverse package.

[Request] How to best visualize percentages with R?
That said, when Iām trying to come up with an interesting way to visualize data, I find the ggplot cheat sheet very helpful: https://github.com/rstudio/cheatsheets/raw/main/data-visualization-2.1.pdf

Data manipulation in R
The cheat sheet of the stringr package should give you good overview of string manipulation/ regex in R.

I'm trying to recreate this plot but I keep failing
I would very highly recommend that rather than trying to get started by translating an existing graph, you check out some documentation about ggplot first. If nothing else, the ggplot cheat sheet from RStudio should help explain what the component parts of the code are, and that might help you figure out what you actually want to do.

First Project
Tidy Tuesday has data and links to more data. The nice thing about those data sets is that you can search for what other people did with the data on social media (e.g. Twitter).

Tips on getting experience in R on GitHub
What you're describing is contributing to open source. Some things I'd suggest doing: - learn some git first - create GitHub account and create at least a practice repo - look at learning community-related repos, like Tidy Tuesday - follow R "power" users, people associated with RStudio, and similar folks on social media. Those folks will sometimes mention projects aimed at beginners.

[OC] Kyle Feldt and his Chevalier Sheriffs: An Infographic of Feldt's NRL Tries
I mostly use ggplot2 in R for visualisations which means that The R Graph Gallery is my starting point for inspiration. The best thing to do is start with a simple idea that tells a story, and one of the best guys out there that does this is Cedric Scherer. He is involved a bit with the TidyTuesday project which I wish I had more time to play around with, and is a great starting point for developing a library of vis techniques.
