This infographic depicts 3 pictures and a graph that all relate the technology used to view news to the time of day that they are used. According to the graph the most popular time to view news on a telephone is during the morning, for a computer it is during the afternoon, and for an iPad it is at night. I chose this graph because I found it really interesting not only in the information it discussed but also in the way they presented the information. Visually the infographic is very appealing. Using a contrast of photos and graphs allow the viewer to relate to more than one type of graphic. In addition, the viewer can also relate to the subject seeing as many people have smartphones, computers, and iPads. However, at first glance the graph does appear a little confusing. It took me a few glances to understand it, and I did have to read the print as well. But once I understood it, I thought it was a very effective infographic.

This infographic discusses the topic of travel rudeness. It displays the top annoyances for travel, including annoyances while boarding, while on the flight, while exiting the flight, while arriving at the hotel, while at the hotel, and overall while on the vacation. I chose this infographic because not only do I find the topic to be rather interesting, but the way in which it is displayed is also interesting. The variation in its visual aids including bar graphs, circle graphs, and charts arranges the material into an organized manner as well as it keeps the reader engaged. Overall the infographic does a superb job of displaying its message. To some the numerous amount of charts might be a little overwhelming and distracting. However, mainly the infographic is organized and covers a number of different areas in a concise and effective manner. In addition the message of the infographic is able to be more clearly understood through the use of the different graphs. Without the graphs the message of the infographic would not be as effective.

This infographic depicts the "U.S Data Consumption In One Day." It displays a brain broken up into different chunks representing different activities that occur during different hours of the day. The activities include watching T.V, reading, listening to the radio, talking on the phone, computer interaction, and other. I found this infographic to be particularly interesting because the activities that it includes are the same activities that I like to do, so I could relate to it. I also felt that the appearance of the infographic is rather interesting and very clever. However there is one area where it could be improved. Below the large main text there is a much smaller text that is very hard to see. If this particular text was enlarged then this infographic would be very well done. Lastly, the infographic itself is very straightforward, clear, and simple in its appearance which makes it easy for the reader to understand it.
