Carolina M's Visuals Express More Than Words!


Visuals are essential in our lives; they help us in our everyday life. Throughout this entire blog, we have been using visuals to make our readers more interested in our topics, but also to make sure they understand what they are riding about. Visuals guide people and one example are on the road, when you’re driving on the highway, and you want to rest, there will be some signs indicating where you can find a rest area, also the billboards that you and I see when driving, announcing the restaurants or shopping centers around that area.

If you think about it, visuals are better than words because you don't have to know the language to understand a visual. Visuals are use in the workplace, at school, and in many other places to orient other people. Furthermore, keep in mind when you are using a visual from the internet to give credit to the page and also don't cut the image to make it seems as something different as what it should be, that could lead to miss understandings and false information, and no one wants that. I always post the images the same way I find them, and I don't cut them to make them different.

I also have seen visuals every week posted on Angels in our course page, our professor always posts some visuals to illustrate and give some firsthand information about the topic for that week, I just open the page, and I found this visual that I posted below, and the first thing that came to my head before reading anything was "this is our last class," visuals like this one don't need any further explanation. That's why I love visuals!

If you want to give life to a blog or anything you are doing, so than just put some visuals but make sure that your visuals are allusive with what you are writing about and not random stuff. So I encourage everyone to use this wonderful tool.

  1. This is a great post about Visuals. I think the eye with different colors is a very creative image. I also like how you related it to our Angel site. You could maybe go more in depth when describing visuals, it seems kind of short. Other than that, great post!
