Project 3 Reflection

I learned a lot about visual rhetoric by completing Project 3. I learned how to take information from one medium, and alter it into another medium to relate to a specific audience. It was interesting to think about how the way information is displayed depends on who is going to view it. Through creating my infographic on white privilege, I was able to use paraphrasing and summarizing skills to obtain the most relevant information to include in my form of visual media. This assignment helped me think outside of the box, and be creative with the way I presented my information. The knowledge I gained about visual rhetoric is significant because it will substantially help me with the completion of my final reflection. It is also beneficial to know these skills because I am going to be asked to present information in the future in ways that people will understand, and will want to read. If an infographic (or any other form of visual media) is not visually appealing or eye-catching, then no one is going to want to take the time to read it and take in the information. I believe these skills will help me in the business world in the future because I will be asked to display my ideas. I need to continue working on my visual rhetoric skills, and building upon what I have learned in this class. I understand that conveying my ideas through structured papers is not always going to be the case, so I need to familiarize myself with other ways that I can present information. Overall, I enjoyed completing this assignment and gained a lot of skills and information regarding visual rhetoric.
