Greetings,
After submitting the final copy of my publisher poster to you, I continued reading our textbook, Creating Graphics for Learning & Performance: lessons in visual literacy (Linda L. Lohr - 2nd edition); I learned that my poster is what is called "Transformative Visual" means: to make information more memorable to facilitate the thinking process; visuals that supplant or support the cognitive process. I believe that my piece possesed "Visual Literacy". (Brill, Kim, and Branch, 2001, p. 9)
In hindsight, I should have added exclaimation points at the end of text that would have conveyed a curcial part in my piece (impact); add a picture of a person living with AIDS to show a "Representive Visual" - means: a visual that carries the same information as the text or clearly identifies information to make it more concrete.

A New Beginning......
Well, this is my very first blog!! I am excited to share my visual journey with you.
The word "Visual" (perceptible by the mind; of the nature of a mental vision; sense of sight; visible: a visual image. - Dictionary.com)
I have always used the word "Visual" in reference to the things that I enjoy doing, such as, interior decorating, gardening, preparing a plate food, painting and projects at work; things that will lure me to step back and take a look at the "Big Picture", so to speak.
What is most important to me is presentation, understanding of the energy flow, beauty and warmth of my creations; the accomplishment gives me the essence of approval within.
There is an on going joke with friends of mine: "Step Away, I need a Visual"! Hahaha. Now, I look forward to a new prospective and understanding of "Visual Communication Design".
