    The Gist
        An infographic explaining some of the more common logical fallacies out there.

    The Good
  • Clear use of colors to divide into sections
  • Pictures and text worked well.
  • High quality, useful resource.
The Bad
  • Limited article, didn't include all fallacies.
  • Citing sources like Wikipedia and TVTropes (not necessarily a bad thing, but does decrease credibility)
  • Would have worked better in responsive HTML5 than as a single image.
The Questions
  • What went into choosing the fallacies to include?
  • What was the original intent and target audience of the graphic?
  • What were all of the fonts used in the infographic?
Your Review You're seriously going to ask for a linear rating from 1-5 on an infographic about logical fallacies?
