I also promised to share the color blindness generator tool on Adobe’s website as a resource. Here it is! Play around to see how your color choice impacts those with color blindness. Color Blindness Simulator & Safe Palette Tool | Adobe Express<https://color.adobe.com/create/color-accessibility>

Visualization Contest Results
We’re also happy to share some kudos and congratulations 🎉 to Jim Gores of Oregon Department of Energy for winning our first ever visualization contest! I’m including the descriptions and links below for our visualization entries to share all the great work that was submitted.

Winner! 🎖️Oregon Department of Energy Power Production Dashboard
By, Jim Gores
This Tableau dashboard (produced by the Oregon Department of Energy) is the Energy Resource Mix for the state of Oregon.  It breaks out what resources are used to generate the electricity used in Oregon as a whole and by individual utility.

Oregon Public Library Dashboard
By, Ross Fuqua
We call this visualization/dashboard the Oregon Public Library Snapshot tool. It draws data collected by the State Library through the annual Oregon Public Library Statistical Report/Survey and is meant to be the first place for library staff and community members to look to find basic figures (and some recent trends) about local public library services.
