We discussed several revisions for my infographic, among them - legibility, hierarchy, and additional information. I intended for the reader to perceive that the higher up the icon, the longer it was on the market; however, Ian suggested a vertical axis with a scale indicator (in terms of years) to show exactly how long they were on the market. Also, to help distinguish each icon from another, I used an increasing number of lines to represent each icon. Ian and Cassie found this difficult to understand, especially at the bottom where it was quite busy, and suggested using color instead to differentiate. We discussed abbreviating the time span displayed, however Cassie argued that the span from 1850 - 2010 was nice because it gave more of a macro view.
