The Hierarchy of Digital Distractions


This infographic represents essentially, digital distracts in order of most distracting to least distracting. What I like about this infographic is the pyramid form, which I feel adolescents our age can relate to in terms of graphics (in comparison, a bar graph could be duller). The arrows on the side that have "Trumps" on them are really helpful in terms of understanding the order in which digital distractions are most versus least distracting. However, I think this infographic's biggest downfall is the lackluster use of color. The arrows on the side could use a little sprucing up, perhaps being changed to a brighter color. I would also prefer if the colors on the pyramid would be a brighter color. I do like that it uses blue (some of these "digital distractions" incorporate a use of blue, like Facebook and Twitter).
