October 17, HW#5, Checklist for visual communication

The visual I analyzed was a screenshot of the Blogger page that had the post editor displayed on it. This page basically contains a text editor that allows you to create or edit a blog post. So here's how it did on the checklist:

1. Serve legitimate purpose? Yes
2. Best type for purpose/audience? Yes
3. Level of complexity for audience? Yes
4. Visual titled and numbered? Yes
5. Units specified? N/A
6. Color used tastefully? Yes
7. Visual relationships represent numeric relationships? Huh?
8. Data sources cited? N/A
9. Written permission? N/A, considered fair use
10. Visual introduced in text? Yes
11. Easy to locate? Yes
12. Uncrowded and free of visual noise? Yes
13. Ethically acceptable? Yes
14. Respect other cultural values? Yes

I think I did pretty good covering the bases on this one. The visuals are well layed out, easy to spot, easy to identify, and properly introduced in the text. The only thing I decided to do was swap the visual out with a screenshot the was easier to read. I did this based on a suggestion I got back from one of the peer reviews.
