using infographics

The ‘D’ Word...
For many, history can be a bit, well...

3. www.thegreatwar100.com
The ‘D’ Word...
...dull

4. www.thegreatwar100.com
The general perception of history books
are that they are old fashioned...

5. www.thegreatwar100.com
...That they are not necessarily written for the
ordinary man in the street...

6. www.thegreatwar100.com
That they are just a way for the author to prove how
clever and academically superior they are.

7. www.thegreatwar100.com
Whatever the reason, many people
still do not know much about WW1

8. www.thegreatwar100.com
These days, history needs to adapt to modern tastes.

9. www.thegreatwar100.com
Attention spans are tiny.

10. www.thegreatwar100.com
People are after the history of the world
in 140 characters, not 140 pages.

11. www.thegreatwar100.com
The general public are becoming less and less inclined to
read those 900 page epics

12. www.thegreatwar100.com
They do not always require intimate details
of every single tiny aspect.

13. www.thegreatwar100.com
They want a general overview that gets
straight to the point.

14. www.thegreatwar100.com
in an easy to digest format.

15. www.thegreatwar100.com
that doesn’t take up hours and hours of their lives

16. www.thegreatwar100.com
but gives them a decent level
of background knowledge

17. www.thegreatwar100.com
so they can hold their own
in a conversation down the pub

18. www.thegreatwar100.com
Or perhaps be inspired to learn more about it
in their own time

19. www.thegreatwar100.com
So, this got us thinking... What if you could tell the story of
WW1 by using graphics instead of words.

20. www.thegreatwar100.com
This could help bring history telling
into the modern era

21. www.thegreatwar100.com
It would overcome the issues of short attention spans

22. www.thegreatwar100.com
and the need for 900 page epics that no one reads

23. www.thegreatwar100.com
it would give people just enough information but not
drown them in detail

24. www.thegreatwar100.com
and would help people learn about the First World War as
we approach the Centenary
