I find this infographic to be really effective for many different reasons. I like that the designer used images and text to communicate and illustrate the data. If I didn’t know how to read I feel like I would still be able to comprehend the history of communication because of the photos. The photos are super simple too which make the whole thing less complicated and easier to read. I also like the way the page is broken up by the timeline. Our eye naturally follows the swirl of the timeline from top to bottom. I also appreciate the use of color. Here color is breaking up “The Visual Era” (blue) with “The Wired Era” (orange). I noticed how the timeline goes off the page which shows that there is a future to communication and the videophone isn’t the last stop. This detail can have the viewer imagine what other communication inventions the future holds. Perhaps holographic communication or virtual reality communication that makes it feel like the person(s) you are communicating with are actually there! I also like how there is not that many words used, the designer only used necessary words!
