Visual Literacy Assignment

 This visual in my opinion is showing how much protein people eat in American each year. It represents how many Big Macs, chicken, and hot dogs Americans eat. It also shows how many chickens are eaten every second in America. It represents Americans eating too much protein.  The overall designs in terms of PAT were very positive. The visual represented the information well and the chart is very well organized by information being in different sections that are the same size. The creator of these visuals made very good contrasts that catch the attention of the reader. All of the writing is centered which makes the over all visual look well put together. The information is not spread out so it makes it easier to see the information. The size of the visual is a good size, so that the reader can see the text. The sizes of the boxes are all the same which make it easier for the reader to see what the information is and there is not one box that catches attention more than others. The colors in the boxes are an attention getter and more interesting than the plain white background. This visual is a well put together visual.  If I could improve the visual to enhance the effectiveness of the message I would do minor adjustments. First I would make a caption at the bottom of the visual with information about it, including the year of the information. I would also change the pictures so that they are more inline with the information that goes with it. The KFC picture is more over the hot dog than its own information. Other than those two changes I think that it was a well done visual that captures the attention of the audience.
