Throughout our class time we often utilize our white board to make connections with the material learned and we use the visuals to help make different concepts concrete in our minds. Now we are by no means artists, but I thought we did a good job at depicting what was asked of us.
First we were supposed to use images and text to support individuality. We wanted to show a picture of a person who wasn't afraid to stand away from the group and be their own person. The line that everyone else is already taken was important because it is such a true fact. If you are yourself, then you shouldn't worry about what others think because they should only be worrying about themselves.

The second image reflects what we have learned in the visual literacy class thus far. The way I would describe this visual is the fact that we are now more self-aware of the visuals that affect us. We can look at an ad in a magazine, which was our specific example, and know they are trying to hit a target audience by using strategies they know will attract people’s attention.
Now that we are becoming more self-aware we are able to be educated about how visuals are affecting us. We can also use the visuals to help support and bring awareness to the topics that we believe are important. Before taking this class I did not understand the value a visual could bring into my work. I find myself using visuals more this semester than ever before in supporting my argument.
