Unit 4 Challenge Activiy

In this activity I will take ideas from the selection chapter and modify an image in a constructive manner. The topic that this activity deals with is the Five Pillars of Islam. These five ideas are taught to high school students in World History class. This first image is the one that I came across.I did not think this was a very effective image because I think it does not fulfill any of the 3 C's, which are concentrated, concise, and concrete (102). It is not concentrated because the information is so spread out, it is not concise because there is too much information visually, and it is not concrete because it is not very easy to visualize. Here is the image that I came up with to address these areas.

The idea of implementing figure-ground is that you want the learner to focus on what is critical (102). I thought that by making the pillars say the meaning and putting the key words in bold, I addressed the major shortcomings of the original image. Please let me know how I can improve this image even more. Should I add color to each pillar? Should the text be bigger or smaller? Thanks for your input.
