 My interpretation of the image is that it is aimed to educate people about how much protein we are eating. It seems to be conveying a message against the consumption of too much protein. The image has four examples of how much protein Americans eat in a certain amount of time. The image makes the reader perceive the notion that too much protein is a bad thing and it is effective because it has multiple facts to back up the claim. Some of the actions taken are the images of the proteins we eat and the chart layout. The soft color tones in contrast to the black border and the easy to read font are tools used to make the image simple to read and understand. I would make the images more disturbing to drive the point that we eat too much protein. The images used are too inviting and therefore ineffective. If the image had a larger and bolder title it may also be seen as more effective. The piece makes a point that is easy to understand but it could benefit from being more realistic and eye catching.
