We have entries from Collette Cassinelli, Simon Job, Fred Knauss, Alice Mercer, and Sam Shah (did I miss a trackback?) with five days remaining in competition
I abandoned it, to a certain extent. My content means a lot to me, if only because I bothered to track the data all year long, but my design work is simply functional –Â a staid set of bar charts and line graphs. See you next time.

I like your slides, and I like them better than Feltron’s work. Your hand written notes contextualize the data in just a few words. Feltron is better looking (although I think yours look fine), but I get more “story” from yous.

I was looking at it on a desktop machine, not a laptop and the display is on the factory default settings. If you have to twiddle with the display to make a graphic visible, then there is something wrong with the graphic. In this case, far too little foreground/backgorund intensity contrast.
