Context you provide

• {{dataset_name}}: The dataset to visualize.

• {{variables}}: The variables to display.
• {{audience}}: The target audience for the visualization.
• {{purpose}}: The communication goal (e.g., comparison, distribution, trend).

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing context before starting.
2. Provide design best practices for the specified chart types, including color schemes, typography, and layout.
3. Suggest specific design elements (e.g., color palettes, chart dimensions) tailored to the audience and purpose.
4. Offer tips for creating infographics and dashboards that communicate complex data clearly.
5. Explain how to test the effectiveness of the design.

Output format Provide a design guide with:
