Visual Literacy

In my seventh period class, Mrs. Sanderl assigned us an interesting project. We were assigned to a Visual Literacy project. It was based on Isaac Salazar's personal talent of book folding. Visual Literacy is the ability to create something visually beautiful and/or creative using literacy. Our project shows this through folding our books to show a beautiful word or sign.

My book was "Why". I chose "Why" because it symbolizes my questioning of things taken for granted, and not believing the lies or truths alike that are told to me, but finding out what things are for myself. My font was an old English font, and the purpose of this was to provide a Sherlock Holmes-like feel to my Visual Literacy. I folded approximately 200 pages.

It turned out pretty well, but I could've done better on some of the letters, it isn't perfectly clean. I would change how I folded, making it precise. If I did this again, I would do a smile, because I want everyone to be happy and content.
