Blue collar graphics
Article Abstract:
The blue collar graphics are those illustrations in newspapers that are generally ignored. These graphics, which include maps and charts, do not get the attention gained by other newspaper graphics. Despite their insignificant place in an article, each blue collar graphic carry a great importance to the reader's lives. The graphics, which enable readers to understand the article a little easier, should be appreciated considering the high rate of reader dependability attached to them.
