If you’re creative then visual literacy is likely to be in your DNA. You may not realise you’re even using it.
These include symbols, signs, diagrams, photographs, advertising, digital and analogue graphics, 3D imagery, comics, maps, right through to 2D and 3D art.
Visually literate people use the formal elements of design: line, shape, form, space, texture, colour and value to make meaning. It is estimated that up to 20% of the population is dyslexic, and new immigrants may not understand English, so images that can replace words become a universal language.
