Problem: Research a pre-2015 digital media trend - Who, What, When, Where, Why, How - and display the information on a 735 x 2500 px canvas.

Results: I planned to use the Twitch company logo at the very top, and use the Pen tool to draw icons for each section of the timeline (which is guided by a yellow dash).
