Quote:
"Just as basic textual literacy uses vocabulary, metaphors, and genres, visual literacy employs colors, icons, and various media to communicate ideas and feelings to readers."
Response:
When I was in high school, I took classes such as Desktop Publishing, Web Page Design, and Digital Imaging. In all of these classes I was taught about visual literacy and how to properly portray it to certain audiences. This is so very true. Reading images is just like reading a book. It has to get across a message and have the audience feel a certain way through colors, images, and font. It's such an interesting subject! For example, if something is too cluttered with text, people won't be attracted to it and probably won't read it. Keep it short and sweet. Certain colors send different ideas and moods. Only 3 colors are allowed to be used per page/project and only 3 different fonts also. If otherwise, the audience will view it as sloppy or unappealing.
