    Thumbs up How to do a Nice Chart?

    Hello guys, I just want to share a nice way of doing Charts (design and arrangement).
    See the attached file for details.

    What I've done to the chart:

    ---> Painted the Gridlines (ligther)
    ---> Painted the Title (ligther)
    ---> Painted and resized the subtitle (italic too)(ligther)
    ---> Painted the border of the chart (ligther)
    ---> Legend on bottom
    ---> Resized the Gap Width between bars

    * you can add shadows and stuff, but i think this way is professional enough.

    If you have any suggestions, please feel free to give it!
    Hope you enjoy and your boos be happier!
    Thanks

    All reasonable suggestions except for the gradient fill on the columns. Why do that?
    Cheers
