I believe that this image would be used in a health magazine or some kind of health warning billboard in which they are trying to warn Americans that they are eating too much protein. I believe that they are saying that this is a bad thing, but it is a little vague. I think that there are some good things about this image and some things that could be changed. I like how each segment is separated into a table like diagram. I like how each segment is a different color, but I think they should have used bolder colors and not pastels. They should have put Overproteined American as the title so that it was a little clearer who they were talking about. The use of pictures is really good, but they need to put them into their designated segments. It looks really weird to have them just floating outside of the diagram. I believe that they should put the pictures right next to the numbers and just expand the whole table. I would also change the spacing in the second to last segment between the number and the text. The space is too big and looks a little odd compared to the other segments.

//This assignment involved us looking at some images and critiquing them. This was to help us with our own visual technology in the classroom. It is important that your images make sense whether in a powerpoint or a smartboard presentation. You do not want your students to be confused.//
