Color can be a great way to distinguish data points in charts. But don't rely on color alone to convey information, as that can make things difficult for colorblind users. Using different shapes or patterns can help. Make sure patterns or textures are simple and not distracting.

Social media has changed.
That's why we've posted 'X-scape' kits to leading voices at charities, media orgs and universities.
Early adoption of New Social is a great opportunity for the UK's leading institutions and we're excited to help them turn to better social alternatives.

Saddened to see another charity toppled. But will never forget attending a wedding where the father of the groom's speech extolled the virtutes of Relate and how if the couple ever encountered issues, even though it didn't save his own marriage, should go to a session or two. *Awkward*
Britain’s biggest relationship counselling charity is on the verge of insolvency after failing to overcome financial difficulties caused by a collapse in funding from NHS, school and local authority contracts.
