Visual+Literacy




 * Within the visual I perceive it trying to appeal to me with statistics on how much Americans eat and how many animals die because of it. We are "overprotiened" as the title of the chart states. As you look at the numbers, the chart goes from smaller statistics to very large and surprising ones that really reveal how much low-quality foods we eat. These animals are produced on such a mass number that it is quite savage to say the least. The numbers really home in on your emotions because there is so many of them.
 *  When it comes to the hamburgers from McDonald's alone, it causes me to wonder how much cattle is actually being killed combined with all the other restaurants in the United States. The action that is taken within this particular visual is figure and hierarchical. The figures and the chart show us exactly what the statistics will be explaining. As far as being hierarchical the statistics begin from somewhat small to greater. The stats go from millions to billions. The figures are kind of comical because they show a little baby chicken to appeal to your emotional side and in the meantime a huge bucket of fried chicken above it. It kind of sends a realization of what we are eating!
 *  Not a huge change but I think it could have been more emotional appealing to have real pictures. I also feel that the statistics are a little high if the diagram is attempting to appeal to younger students. I think the chart appeals visually and the title does tell a lot about what the statistics and data is trying to convey.
