(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because I am interested in learning more about visual communications. This topic matters because everything is digital within today's society. It is best to understand why visual communication is important, what makes it, and how to utilize it. After reading the article, my first impression was that it was well detailed and explained thoroughly.

The lead section includes a well developed introductory sentence explaining what visual communication is and a range of different examples of it. Everything that is stated within the lead is later described in more detail further within the article. For example, the lead mentions the seven components of visual communication and later the article has a section dedicated to explaining the components.

The content is relevant to the topic and is separated into good categories/ subcategories. Throughout the article, the tone remained neautral and unbiased. However, one way to improve this article would be to include more citations from sources. For example, the "Important figures" section is vague and seems unrelated to the topic. I believe there should be more citations within that section of the article to properly tie together why these two individuals are so important to the creation of visual communication.

Overall, the article is well written and leaves few questions unanswered.
