However, there is a lead lining to this cloud 9 subculture.

Cosplayers have reported many problems both from outsiders and fellow cosplayers. Here are the top five problems that cosplayers have come in contact with...and continue to plague the creative subculture.

  1. Hi Undercover!

    I think this is a great overview of harassment in cons; as a writing piece it's a well thought out listicle. That said, it's not really an infographic - it seems to be missing the core visual aspect. I would love to see this reworked with more of a visual aspect.

    Best,

  2. Hey Hipster,

    I agree with Viscus. This serves as a great list, maybe even a typographic poster but it should be gleaned down to represent things graphically with less text. Consider adding some of your characters to the list next to the headings and taking out the paragraphs. I think that would give it a much more graphical representation.
    Great ideas, I really admire your passion for this subject.
