Evaluate the article
The article covers the definition of visual communication helping the reader understand the reading. This article briefly introduces what relies on visual communication using the collection of actions that value visual resources using graphics. It is evaluated mainly by measuring audience comprehension, not artistic preference. This article needs to be updated; it does not cover new technology information. According to the author, the opinion of a viewer about an image is determined by their thoughts, the history of media use, the technical perspective, and the ethical perspective when it comes to the idea of the image. These perspectives are categorized into six categories: categorical imperative, utilitarianism, hedonism, golden mean, golden rule, and the veil of ignorance. There are two perspectives on culture. One involves symbols; the other involves critical commentary that is made for the good of society, although in both views, individual critiques are created for the benefit of society.

Furthermore, as we evolve, visual communication can also be negatively affected. For example, information can easily be misunderstood using an outdated methodology. This article talks about chalkboards and whiteboards being useful as visual aids. This information should be updated. There are so many new ways to project visuals. This article's tone and balance are balanced, but it needs more details on how technologies are used to communicate. Lastly, when reading this article, the information about using visual elements in science communication can have a negative effect on the understanding of information. To tackle these obstacles, science communicators must place the user at the center of the design, which is called User-Centered Design. It should be explained in more detail with more full-bodied research that supports this claim.
