Visual+Literacy

== In the visual literacy assignment, we looked at a chart of what Americans eat. Not only was the chart in words, but it also provided pictures. Many people are intrigued with pictures and if you have them on a chart, it draws attention to the subject. Using words also helps explain the information. == == Sometimes charts, and information in general is hard to read. Allowing different ways to read information, makes it easy and fun. Multiple ways such as changes in fonts, pictures, words and different types of charts keep it different and keep the learning part of the situation different which is important so people do not get bored. Information with words only is dull, with pictures, it can be confusing, using both to explain a subject is not only explaining more, but also keeping the text interesting. Pictures speak their own words, your text next to it only adds to someones own interpretation. ==
