Literacy is a gift from our parents and junior school
teachers. They taught us how to read and write and be able to communicate our
thoughts. WLC College, however, makes you visually literate !
This terminology refers to the ability to communicate and
express our thoughts visually, through the medium of design. This is done by
the use of the following tools :-
- Typography – The font used to express your thoughts can depict your mood, so choose wisely.
- Layout – The way you place your words and design on paper or on screen holds weight age as the viewer is easily manipulated by it.
- Color – Saturation used by you as a designer can affect the mood of your reader.
- Human Bias – People are predominately trusting of other people, unless they appear shabby. Use images and pictures of humans as opposed to clip arts.
- Culture Conscious – In case your design travels across borders, be extremely sensitive to the many cultures across the globe.
- Decision Making – Golden Rule when it comes to buyers : People like choices when browsing, but when they are ready to make a purchase, they would rather be left with no option than many !
- Punctuation and Grammar – Use spell check and the thesaurus wherever applicable, don’t make a blunder out of your design.
