This infographic discusses a prescription drug and its potential risks. The pill imagery near the top helps communicate the main topic, but there isn't very much imagery on what the drug is prescribed for or what makes it dangerous. The symptom section would be a great opportunity to introduce either iconography for each symptom or an "anatomy-of" approach pointing to the regions of the body where the symptoms occur, but as-is the viewer needs to read each symptom and draw their own connections to the body silhouette. The design is also pretty text-heavy and doesn't cite sources; it also doesn't utilize data visualization (like a bar graph for the 38% higher risk stat). In all we'd give this an F.
