Loved this infographic. I am a huge Elvis fan and I think it is such an interesting thing to see his life before fame compared to when he was famous and until he passed away. He is an individual who came from poverty and a family who was extremely unfortunate. The fact that he was initially a twin was what struck me about his life, I have always found a fascination with his life because there was more to him beside the fame aspect.

Great work! Elvis Presley’s rise to fame and career overall as a musician was certainly a rollercoaster, and I was surprised to learn from your project that Elvis had been drafted into the military seemingly at the height of his career. While his career as a musician was a success, his battle with substance abuse was fierce and cost him his life. In pop culture, the tale seems as old as time. Elvis’ death like many so many others serves as a stark reminder of the danger of substance abuse.

This was a very interesting timeline to read. I like the way you used the symbols of the skull and medicine pill to describe Elvis’s life and how he had become afflicted and addicted to pills which would ultimately lead to his death. I also like the photos that were selected for the timeline. I like how they showcase how amazing he was as well as his struggles.

As someone who grew up listen to Elvis because of my grandparents it was very interesting to see a timeline that goes though the big events in his life that also had a cultural impact on people at the time. The timeline was very interesting and informative while also using images that capture the moments in his life that people may not know about prior to seeing this timeline.

This is a great timeline! It comes at a great time after the release of the Elvis and Priscilla movies, which have launched the world into an Elvis frenzy! I had never seen most of these photos before, and it’s so interesting to know more about the Elvis we all know and the music we love. Congrats on your nomination!

10/10 really interesting and informative. Love the use of the simple images to represent different things such as the skull to represent his death.
