The ‘D’ Word...

For many, history can be a bit, well...


The ‘D’ Word...

...dull


The general perception of history books
are that they are old fashioned...


...That they are not necessarily written for the
ordinary man in the street...


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


Whatever the reason, many people
still do not know much about WW1


These days, history needs to adapt to modern tastes.


Attention spans are tiny.


People are after the history of the world
in 140 characters, not 140 pages.


The general public are becoming less and less inclined to
read those 900 page epics


They do not always require intimate details
of every single tiny aspect.


They want a general overview that gets
straight to the point.


in an easy to digest format.


that doesn’t take up hours and hours of their lives


but gives them a decent level
of background knowledge


so they can hold their own
in a conversation down the pub


Or perhaps be inspired to learn more about it
in their own time


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


This could help bring history telling
into the modern era


It would overcome the issues of short attention spans


and the need for 900 page epics that no one reads


it would give people just enough information but not
drown them in detail


and would help people learn about the First World War as
we approach the Centenary
