#datafam It has been a long time since I posted something but I'm back! For our own internal #ironviz competition I used the #MakeoverMonday dataset to visualize what % of Britons think kidult hobbies and practices are for children.
Check it out: shorturl.at/G5cfu!
Having been a qualifier judge for a few years, I thought I’d enter #Tableau #IronViz this year!
High Times, High Companions, and High Spirits is my (very high level) story about the changing tastes of cocktails.
I leant into my strengths and drew everything with map layers too!
#DataViz
Hi #datafam!!
Here's my #dataviz for #ironviz, Beyond the Bowl: Mapping the Instant Noodles Universe. I looked into the history of instant noodles, as well as their origins and global demand rankings.
It was a last-minute idea, but I'm delighted I got it done!

Made some more accidental #Tableau art, as part of speculatively making something for #IronViz
Haven't quite figured out why I've made it, but i like.

Ludo Koelman visualises music itself in a data-driven quest for understanding.
Perfect inspiration for your #IronViz prep!

I hope I'm not alone in feeling deflated at the theme for this year's Tableau #IronViz. I was so pumped for it, but this seems... boring. Please someone in the #DataFam tell me I'm not alone.

Unfinished Vizness Iron Viz Tip #13 🔁 Don’t Chase Perfection
Perfection’s the overcooked steak of Iron Viz. Aim for 80 percent brilliant and hit publish. You’ll learn more by finishing than by fussing.

Unfinished Vizness Iron Viz Tip #12 📜 Stay Within the Rules
Avoid copyrighted logos and imagery: create your own graphics or generate them with AI, and give credit to your sources and inspiration. Watch our Iron Viz tips: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnSo... #IronViz #EthicalDesign #DataArt
Unfinished Vizness Iron Viz Tip #11 📖 Explain Your Intent
Give your audience a menu, not just the meal. An “About this viz” section shows what’s on offer and why you served it that way.

Unfinished Vizness Iron Viz Tip #10 😴 Sleep Is a Secret Ingredient
Creativity collapses without rest. Step away when you’re stuck; fresh eyes fix problems faster than caffeine ever will.

Unfinished Vizness Iron Viz Tip #9 ⏳ Plan Your Prep Time
Work backwards from the deadline and schedule wisely. Mix in time to research, design, and taste-test your ideas, leaving plenty of time for plating and presentation.

Unfinished Vizness Iron Viz Tip #8 ♿ Make It Accessible
Accessibility isn’t garnish—bake it in. Add alt text, use readable font sizes (>=12pt) & limit text-as-images to titles. Everyone deserves a seat at the table.

Unfinished Vizness Iron Viz Tip #7 👀 Respect the Judges
Make it easy to digest. Explain colours, context, and references right in the viz. The judges shouldn’t need a secret menu to understand your story.

Unfinished Vizness Iron Viz Tip #6 🧩 Control the Kitchen Chaos
Plan your layout before it boils over. Floating elements are great until you resize the dashboard-then it’s a food fight. Copy your viz before resizing.

Unfinished Vizness Iron Viz Tip #5 🗣️ Get Feedback Early
Half-baked ideas are perfect for feedback. You’ll get more value from critique when you’re still flexible enough to pivot. Don’t wait until it’s plated and cold.

Unfinished Vizness Iron Viz Tip #4 🍲 Start Messy, Taste Often
Exploration comes first. Try wild chart ideas, play with forms, throw in too many spices. Find balance between Analysis, Storytelling, and Design.

Unfinished Vizness Iron Viz Tip #3 🍳 Don’t Overcook Your Data
Pick a dataset that fits the theme, find the story, then stop stirring. Too many ingredients and you’ll burn your time. You’ve got a month, not a Michelin kitchen.

How do you pick your #IronViz topic?
Unfinished Vizness Iron Viz Tip #2 ❤️ Pick a Topic That Feeds You
The theme might be food, but your real ingredient is passion. Choose a topic that you’ll still want to “taste-test” after the twelfth late night.
