Visual+Literacy

This artifact was an assignment that had use look at how information is styled to get a response from those looking at it. I thought is was very informative and I learned a lot about how we draw ideas just from how information looks. I plan to use this knowledge in my classroom to make use my lesson and images help students learn. If I can present the information in manor that the students like and find easier to read; students will benefit from it more than they know.

Visual Literacy The image seemed to be informative and trying to get you to not eat these foods. I interrupt that Americans eat too much chicken and Big Mac’s to get protein. It also gives me the thought that we eat too much protein which is bad for us. All the facts have me feeling like we are out of hand when it comes to eating these foods. The organization was very easy to read with good figure/ground elements. The images were not over whelming and didn’t make it hard to read. All the images also had perfect relevance to what was being said. The advertisement did have hierarchy; all the foods fall under overproteined. Gestalt was present in this advertisement. The whole image could be broken down into four parts that helped display the overall message. They also had proximity that broke the information up so it was easy to follow. There was good similarity in the way the information was given; all the large bold numbers stood out and you knew each number was important and would be explained below. The numbers also stayed with me as I read and it felt more important as I continued to read. The advertisement also had good use of tools like font size and font color which helped to draw your eyes in. I didn’t find anything that was negative or that I didn’t like. The information was short and easy to understand, the ad was easy to follow and the message was clear.
