First, check out the blogs on circular maps in Tableau by @vizzingbrocks (via @rajvivan) & @sarahlovesdata. As you may notice, many of my vizzes have maps and for most, I employ the same approach of layering maps & images.

That's one of the main drivers that led me to launch #IronQuest in 2019. I wanted to provide people with a platform to practice #IronViz-style skills in a safe environment, all year round. A key element of IronQuest is feedback, which all participants can opt-in for.

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.
