Final Grade
This infographic offers some facts about hypertension and a few tips for prevention. The piece's strongest attribute is its design, which is clean, consistent, and visually appealing. The content, here, is also relatively strong, at least in terms of its brevity and focus on numbers (there are some awkward phrases that could be cleaned up). Where this infographic could use some work: usability and visual communication. Because the information is targeted at such a specific demographic, it might be confusing for a reader to be continually addressed as "you." Simply presenting average ranges might make things easier to digest. And while it's admirable that many of these numbers have been visualized, missing scales and context detract from the quality (and many numbers have not been visualized). Overall, we'd give this infographic a D.
