In this module we are looking at ‘Visual Intelligence’ which I would describe as the way information can be extrapolated without having to be processed through a mental system that has to be trained like language so that people can immediatly identify what they are seeing. Text has to be read in a serial way in a linear order, the words are recognised from the patterns of shapes that are letters and put together. After this the person must assemble and understand the meaning encoded in the text for the information to be transfered.

A visual image can bypass the need for a common language to give information. By coupling written words with visual imagry you can convey information on a number of levels.

This leads onto our project for 02/11/09. We will each make a ‘Digital Signature’ which reprisents various aspects of our identity and possibly our constructed online identity which is how we choose to project ourselves.
