<h3>Remember 5 things:</h3>
<ol>
<li>Annotate your charts to communicate what you want people to know</li>
<li>Highlight what is important -- color can help with this</li>
<li>Label information close to the data points</li>
<li>Use titles to help tell the story</li>
<li>Your graph should stand alone</li>
</ol>
