How Wigan & Leigh College makes you Visually Literate

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.

WLC College India - All you MUST know about Careers

Career advice in India comes free of cost. From your parents, teachers, neighbors and random people on the street, the advice can come from anywhere !

How effective or accurate is this advice really ? The success mantra, that worked for your parents might not for you. WLC College sheds light on the lesser known facts about Careers. Things that one learns over a period of time, with experience are listed below. The sooner one realizes and makes peace with the facts listed below, the faster they grow as a fully capable professional !

• Your Career is Your Responsibility. Parents, teachers and managers are not accountable to the success you attain in your life nor are they truly going to reap any benefits from it. So take control !
• Mediocre Work = Mediocre Life. Unless one does extraordinarily well, they will never come into anyone’s notice. Go above and beyond to make a mark in your career and life.
• Expertise in one thing. Create your unique selling point. Gain proficiency in any one field or aspect and be the go-to-guy.
• You can’t really love what you do. No one can really love ALL the aspects of their job. List down the good, the bad and the ugly and focus on what you really like doing.
• Prove to be an asset. Don’t hold on to your past performance for too long. Keep performing every single day.
• Don’t be arrogant. Pride and overconfidence kills careers. Play nice and develop a pleasing personality to climb the ladder to success.

WLC College India encourages you to find career sponsors and not career advisors. Career Sponsors look out for your best interest and help you take the fast track to success.
