Final Grade

This infographic rounds up some of the most compelling email marketing stats from Valentine's Day 2018 and compares them to 2017. The bright colors paired with the computer graphic with Cupid's arrow shot through it immediately communicate the general theme of the infographic without having to read, which is a big plus in any piece of visual communication. However, there are some lost opportunities for data visualization—for instance, in the first section, which compares 2017 to 2018 sales, order volume, and more. Where there is data viz, it's strong and compelling, but not always easy to understand. (What does the graph labeled "% emoji subjects by year" tell us? It's not entirely clear at first, in part because the percent of emails with emojis in their subject line has already been represented in the previous pie chart.) It's also hard to see how the bar charts in the last section compare with the icons (a mix of several different design styles) blocking the ends of them. Still, this should be a useful infographic for anyone in email marketing, and overall, we'd give it a B-.
