My timeline


http://www.courses.rochester.edu/eaves/timeline/king/Kat.html
Here is the link to my timeline. I tried to color code the media into types: pink for video based media, light purple for text based media, light purple for audio and orange for internet based media.

I like the color coding. It's very impressive. I also think it's interesting that you included start and end dates, and changed the years to every ten years. That certainly makes it easier to scroll through quickly.

Your colors and timeline are far superior to mine. I tip my hat to you. Did you have the majority of your events end in 2080 based on the average life expectancy or for other reasons? I plan to live to 200 years old.

Dear Katherine,

The amount information and bullet points on your timeline makes me look like a lazy fool. Terrific work, I am especially impressed with the amount of detail you include on your video game experience.

I like the color coding of your timeline. I also like how thorough it is. You thought of a lot of media that I completely forgot about. It's very impressive!

Nice timeline.

The color coding and end dates work well together to show how certain media forms have developed and changed over time.

Also, changing the intervals to years / decades was a great design choice.

Agreed, the colors look awesome, and I totally stole your decade interval idea. Boyz 2 Men: II was my JAM back in the day. My best friend who lived across the hall from me was obsessed with Nirvana's Nevermind. We took turns between "Come as you are" and "I'll make love to you".
