Which article are you evaluating?
I am evaluating the Visual communication article.

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose Visual communications article to evaluate because this article was very clear and thorough from the beginning. It caught my attention right away just from reading the first few paragraphs. For me I use visual communication in my everyday life and this article explained how all the components of visualization make communicating information more intriguing to a person. Visual communication is very important because it allows people to understand each other without having to speak. Visual communication actually helps people retain more information and can create stronger connection between people rather than verbal communication.

Evaluate the article
Overall the article does a great job defining visual communication and goes into detail right away. I think this article could have more pictures and more visuals placed throughout the article, just to grab more attention by the eye. It talks about how visual communication plays a big role in social media, culture, politics and science. It also highlights how our culture uses visual imagery in politics and in science and medicine. This article is very well developed and provides lots of information but needs some work. The content is not very update and could use more relevant information and resources. The article is written in a neutral tone. There are no claims that are heavily biased throughout the article.The article is not persuading the people reading it but talks very highly of mass communications. All the sources are all supported by legit sources that are all cited. There are some current sources but a lot of them are dated. All the sources are written by a diverse spectrum of authors. All the links work and are pretty consistent. For the most part the article is very well written and is clear. The article is rated pretty well and is pretty general with all the information. Overall I want to add more updated information in a better format.
