Final Stories, presented

Let's Redesign a thing

We haven't baked in a ton of design here, but lets look back at what makes this stuff work as storytelling.

Let's look at a story that works. Here's one: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/06/technology/technologys-man-problem.html

And one that could: http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/rampage/wp/2015/01/27/women-falling-behind-in-stem-bachelors-degrees/

And one that doesn't: http://dataskills.tumblr.com/post/103510348470

Let's do-over that last one.

Using a syntax checker

Web developer toolbar or http://validator.w3.org/ or http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

Bootstrap and adding custom CSS

create a <div> or <span> and add a class. Define that class in a style block.
My workflow: web developer toolbar to experiment with look and feel; then copy what I've come up with.

Optional: Highcharts
