I had the honor to be an #IronViz judge. I entered for years and never placed. I definitely learned and each #IronViz piece still has use for various reasons.

#IronViz takeway #2 for work & play:
Design a powerful subsystem. This piece from @menscuriosa uses a consistent design on axis lines. It supports my understanding of what elements are. It doesn't ALL have to be dropped out - adding can be powerful.

#IronViz takeaway #3 for work & play:

#IronViz takeway 5 for work and play:
Get it right in black and white. Really go look at @pradeep_zen piece and observe how much color ISN'T there. When it's used, it's important and clearly discernable.
