Visual Literacy and Depth

Going Deeper

This week, we find ourselves posed with the task of creating a deeper visual message.  I found a photo of myself in Babil Province, Iraq, when we were tasked with training an Iraqi army commando group.  With everything that has developed recently, I think back now and realize that half of the men we were training probably did not care at the time.  I bet they wish they took it a little more serious. 

Reflecting on literacy. 

I have learned this week to try and make this blog more presentable to the viewer by:

• Continuing to use standard fonts; nothing flashy
• Stick to white on black, it is more eye pleasing
• Never use centered text, it is difficult to read
• Use bullets when making multiple points!

There is something special in being able to send a deep message to someone, even if it is from a non-monetized blog.
