WEEK 6: Media and Information Literacy

Week 6 was a discussion of media, visual, and information literacy. Visual literacy is the ability to convey information through design, or
"the ability to interpret, negotiate, and make meaning from information presented in the form of an image"
We began the week with a tutorial on photoshop and its many different tools. The tutorial called for us to create an image with different types of athletic shoes. Additionally we learned about the visual literacy project and saw examples from previous years.

In Telecommunications,  visual literacy is one of the main goals of every production. My major focuses almost entirely on visual literacy and telling a story through images. Being able to interpret and make sense of information presented is vital to delivering a finished product to clients.


Photoshop Tuts
I chose the above resource because it proved very useful for the visual literacy project. The site offers numerous photoshop tutorials and has helped me out of a bind on several occasions.
