This submission is a simple infographic on Christmas tree fire statistics. The brevity of it and it's relatively small dimensions make this optimized for social media. The center image is fairly effective, but overall, this piece is lacking in graphic interest. Consider adding supporting icons and graphs for the various statistics. The $14.8 million stat seems to be disconnected for no reason. Perhaps it could be given the same treatment as the others or worked into a brief introduction. Overall, we give this a C.
