This infographic offers a chronological review of interactive displays. A clear vertical structure and icons associated with certain points begin to develop the visual communication, which is amplified in the icon-rich final section. The icons in that area are fairly consistent, which helps to develop the piece's aesthetic — though early visuals feature differing (and possibly distracting) styles. The color palette is carried through the piece effectively. Copy is limited, helping the reader move through the elements quickly; the limited use of complete sentences is an effective choice for this medium and could be pursued even more. Overall, this infographic gets to the point effectively and could just benefit from a bit more visual consistency. We'd give this a C.
