Including a reference to the graphic in the text helps to clearly connect the graphic with the information in the report and ensures that the reader understands its relevance. Using color excessively or manipulating the visual to make data look more dramatic can be misleading and distract from the actual information being presented. Additionally, it is important to avoid assuming that the reader will draw the same conclusions as the writer and instead provide clear explanations of the data presented.
