Visuals

Posted by jross in English 207  Tagged    

We use visuals to interpret text through images. Many visuals are used to shorten up a inteded message. For instance, instead of having a sign that says NO SMOKING, we may just see a slashed cicle with a cigarette in the middle. These visuals relay a message through images.

As stated above, many visuals are created and/or designed to relay a message to its intended audience. This relaying of a message is communication through visuals. Although visuals include images, visuals play a major role in communication because of the many differenct ways visuals can be used. Visual literacy allows us to interpret these different tools of visuals.

In my future career, I imagine that visuals will play a major role. I am a marketing major and have a strong interest in marketing via print media, commercials, ads, billboards, etc. All of these types of marketing use visuals to relay a message.

One thought on “Visuals

  1. Greetings, I think your web site could be
    having browser compatibility issues. Whenever I look at your website in Safari, it looks fine
    however, if opening in I.E., it has some
    overlapping issues. I merely wanted to give you a quick heads up!

    Aside from that, excellent website!
