Which article are you evaluating?
Visual communication

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I find that the use of images to convey a message is a fascinating topic that is so prevalent in our everyday lives. Visual communication is an extremely integral part of society that can easily get overlooked because of how accustomed we are to their presence. Prior to evaluating the article, I believe that a majority of visual communication can be found within advertisements for various products that companies are trying to sell to consumers.

Evaluate the article
Upon evaluation, all of the content in the article is relevant to the overarching topic of visual communication. Additionally, a neutral tone is maintained throughout the article when providing information. An improvement that could be made to the page is the addition of more credible sources for the information being posted. The citations for some sections are either missing or questioned as coming from an unreliable source. Additionally, the subsections titled "Culture" and "Economics" under the "Prominence and motive" section appear substantially shorter than the rest of the categories in the same section. It would be beneficial to add more information about these two subsections (based off of information from a credible source) to make the information more consistent across the board regarding the various subjects/topics visual communication plays a role in. On the talk page of the article, other people are also pointing out the need for more credible sources and a wider variety of visual aids. It was also mentioned on the talk page that the inclusion of visual communication in newer forms of social media should be added to address the topic of visual communication in modern times.
