Visual+Literacy

Visual literacy is a huge aspect in how I learn. I am a very visual learner so I believe in the importance of having visual perspectives in teaching. To visually see something being taught will allow me to remember better, and it is just more fun and interesting if something is done with color and designs. You can make a visual confusing and hard to understand if not done correctly. Depending on the audience you must take in to consideration the group you are trying to teach and what is going to get their attention and make them want to know more. Using bright colors will catch the eyes first and the message that you want to perceive should be brief and to the point, (I believe) less words when using visuals. With the visual given it has a lot of color and pictures within the message which makes me want to look at it longer and see what it has to say. The numbers are bold and eye popping and the food in the pictures are big and colorful. The design in terms of the PAT has some positives in the image. It has an overall good perception of what they want you to know. My eyes go straight to the pictures first, so a negative thing I would change is to have the picture of the chicken bigger since that is eaten the most. I like how they kept the chicken a cute little baby, making a point to you to stay away from eating chicken because they are cute. The action of the design has color contrast and has repetition in the frames. The overall design has color and shape that attract the eyes, some of the pictures could have been a little smaller and the chic picture should have been bigger. I think the design was done well it grabs your attention with color and pictures, and it has bold outlines so you know what they want you to know. You get the point of their message and hopefully you will think about next time you eat fast food.
