This infographic presents some dangers that affect teens due to their internet use. The piece is clean and has a nice balance of white space in the layout, which gives the design room to breathe. The copy is clear and concise. While the subject matter is a bit inconsistent between the title and the copy (children vs. teens), the data specifies what age groups it refers to. On that note, the data maintains a consistent percentage use, which is helpful to develop a narrative in the data. However, the type treatment of the percentages might not be the most impactful way of communicating the data. While each point is accompanied by icons, the style has some discrepancies. Overall, this is a clean, clear infographic with lots of data — it just needs a bit more balance to communicate visually. We'd give this a C.
