This infographic offers up a full introduction to the DNP program at Ashland University. The opening illustration does a good job of communicating that the topic of the infographic has to do with the medical profession, and the illustration style remains mostly consistent after that. However, the text is often several lines — even a full sentence — long, so the piece misses many opportunities to break up the information for visualization, reducing its usability. Opportunities for data visualization, in particular, are missed — for instance, with regard to showing salary data. Still, the checklists and icon usage helps to make the piece more digestible. Overall, we'd give this a D+.
