Infographic - the Greatest Books You've Never Read

I created an infographic designed to persuade people who see comics as a genre and not a medium for telling stories of any shape, size, or texture. My contention is that comics can achieve with the combination of pictures and words, an experience unlike no other.

Content is fine, but format leaves something to be desired. The purpose of an infoGRAPHIC is to Show things to people who don't want to Read a whole lot of it. And you've picked a topic that's very visual. But you've still got most of it so wordy with huge blocks of text it defeats the purpose!

Two nitpics. 1) what do you have against apostrophes? 2) you mix references together for comic Strips, comic Books, and Graphic novels, 3 distinctly different media. Some comments about strips are out of context for books, and vice versa.

I actually need to get working on other things, but I thought I'd get this up. Need to balance creating with promotion. Doing the illustration friday makes me do both. I'm teaching tomorrow. I wish I wasn't. I'd rather be drawing, sketching, or working on my craft. As soon as I finish I'm zooming back home to finish up some roughs for the Tom and Jerry book. All struggling artists go through this, I know. Having to work at something they don't wanna do in order to do something they do wanna do. But sometimes it eats at my soul. Deprives me of the energy I need to do my best. What do you do? You have to find your fuel. My fuel is a mixture of fear, anger, hope, pride, and desire. Fear of mediocrity, anger at my own complacency, hope that I will be discovered, pride in what I've accomplished so far, and desir...
