Odd E-Mails

Infographic-in-progress. Note HUGENESS of the Black Death.

Sometimes when you take a step or two back from a project, you can’t quite believe you are writing serious, professional e-mails to a colleague that go like this:

The page looks empty and the pandemics themselves seems kind of inconsequential in all that space. I mean, the Black Death should be HUGE…. We do need to do something about the circle for COVID…. Right now it’s about the same size as the 1918 Influenza, when it should really be between the Third Bubonic Plague and Ebola, closer to Ebola.

This is what it looks like when you’re finishing up a picture book on pandemics and you need to get the final infographic just right.
