This infographic presents a list of books as well as some information on the origin of their titles. The vertical structure keeps everything well organized, and each item has consistent components within its section. The design and information, however, present some questions. While the focus of the piece is about books, the images come from their movies. This, in turn, makes the visual emphasis on the books' contents rather than their titles or on the information included in the text. While the copy itself does address the origin story of some of the titles, others simply offer variations rather than how the final title was chosen. There's some interesting information here, but this piece could benefit from additional clarity. We'd give this an F.
