Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I decided to choose this article to evaluate because the aspect of visual communications is something that is a huge asset to how we live our everyday lives and can control how we see things. By evaluating this article, I'm able to go through and really make sure there is a well thought out description and make sure it gets know to others how important the knowledge of this topic is. This article also stood out to me because there isn't as many citations in it as other articles which means there needs to be more credible sources.

Evaluate the article
- the lead section of this article is good but I feel as if it can be broken down more into sections as it is long and all put into one big paragraph. After the lead sentence, it jumps right into examples but they aren't detailed examples- having a section with these examples and having them described more would make it better. The author also doesn't include what sections are going to be talked about throughout this article in the beginning which makes it hard to grasp what is being taught, you should know what the whole article is gonna entail of before getting into it. With this article only including 2 images and with the topic being about visual communication there should definitely be more images to help clearly show the reader what is being said, the images also are just thrown in there on the side with no meaning as it doesn't really fit into what is being said. when it comes to the sources and the organization of it, I think there could be more sources for sure as there is a bit but not enough to back up everything being said and whole article itself I think could be broken down more so it doesn't look like so much in one. The overall impression I had from this article is that it was for sure good but there could be improvements with going into more details when it comes to examples and making sure to tie it into real life experiences to help the reader understand why its important and how its used in everyday life and I also think there could be more images to help further the information. Adding onto the article it self and maybe even talking about how its used today would help improve it as well- such as real life examples like I have mentioned.
