Aha! Visual Literacy-Word as Image

Being in a visual literacy class will change your life. You will start to look at the world differently. Every visual I look at, every commercial I see, every time I see an ad run in a magazine I analyze it and think about how it was designed and what purpose it was meant to serve and how it is affecting people. I often like to read through Buzz Feed articles, search through StumbleUpon, and read CNN articles to make sure I am keeping current with the world around me. The other day I was “stumbling” and I found the perfect video for my visual literacy class. It has such a unique take on the way that words and images can be use concurrently. It was mesmerizing to watch how the two related and described the feeling the word portrays. Throughout this video I tried to pick out my favorites, but I found each one reflected the word so well I liked them all. If I had to pick though, I really like the o rising in the word horizon, the letters falling to the ground on gravity, the extra zeros in the word inflation and the tunnel created with the n’s on the word tunnel. This was an advertisement for a book that was written by Ji Lee and I definitely plan on looking into it. Please click on the link below to view this video!
