#SWDchallenge: emulate!
In this challenge, we pull from the premise of Austin Kleon’s book “Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things No One Told You About Being Creative” and challenge the community to emulate a visual they like in an effort to further hone data visualization skills and style. You can participate through 4/10—see full post for details!
