Visual literacy and 21st century skills require an understanding of visual communication principles. To be visually literate, one must understand that the human brain processes visual and spatial information differently than text-based, logical information. Effective visual communication leverages images and design principles to engage audiences on a holistic, emotional level rather than through words and sequential logic alone. Presentations must consider visual design choices like fonts, color schemes, and layouts to best convey their message to different audiences.
