The checklist above is one sample of each visual (chart, graph, table, illustration, diagram, and

photograph). From the chart attached above, it illustrates the relationships of parts to a larger whole. The

flowchart provide easy to follow and boxes connected. Also, the titles/names clear and easy to read and

the slices of the pie add up to 100%. In regards to the graph, there are patterns, trends, or changes in the

graphs over time, or a line graph be more effective for these data the colors used effectively but not

overwhelmingly, and each bar or line distinct and easy to distinguish. In connection to the table above, the

page does not use a table to compare data or other information, the table clear and uncluttered. Readers

make easy comparisons of the data in the table, and rows and columns clearly labeled. Wherein the

illustrations, diagrams, and photographs, the illustrations sufficiently clear without being too detailed, all

illustrations and diagrams have a title or explanation, the quality of their photographs sufficient for viewers

to see the details trying to illustrate, and using any symbols or icons sparingly. Therefore from each

visual attached above, I have looked for parts of the document that contain numeric or other data that

would be best conveyed as a visual, the visual located near the text and referenced the graphic within the

text, visuals are easy to understand at a glance, visuals are accurate and not distorted in any way, and

there was any consideration on the type of visual and determined the most.
