MIL P2

• Visual Media


  Sources of data or information in the form of visual representation. Requires interpretation of the data gatherer. The level of reliability compared to other sources may vary considerably.
• Formats and Types of Visual Media


  • Non-Projected Visual Media
  • Projected Visual Media
• Non-Projected Visual Media


  A type of visual media that requires no projection material or electric power
• Projected Visual Media


  Uses bright light to pass through a transparent picture, by means of a lens, or electronic power
• Advantages and Limitations of Visual Media


  • Provides greater impact and retention
  • Can be harmful due to some content that may be violent or inappropriate
• Value of Visual Media


  • Information Dissemination
  • Infographic
  • Visual Design
• Infographic


  Makes the data easily understandable at a glance
• Visual Design


  Refers to design principles and elements in the production of visual media and information that take into consideration the visual perception of the audience in regards with their prior knowledge, culture, etc.
• Elements of Visual Design


  • Line
  • Shape
  • Form
  • Texture
  • Color Palette
• Line


  A mark in a surface connecting two points
• Types of Lines


  • Vertical lines
  • Zigzag lines
  • Horizontal lines
  • Curved lines
  • Diagonal lines
• Vertical lines


  Straight lines moving up and down. Suggests power and strength.
• Zigzag lines


  Lines made up of diagonal lines
• Horizontal lines


  Lines which are parallel to the horizon. Signifies peace and serenity.
• Curved lines

  Lines that are slant. Conveys life and motion.
• Shape


  A self-contained area from a series of lines
• Types of Shapes


  • Circles
  • Squares and Rectangles
  • Triangles
  • Spirals
• Circles


  Project eternity, wholeness and completeness.
• Squares and Rectangles


  Show stability, order, formality and solidity. It is a "truth" shape since they contain information that people tend to believe and trust.
• Triangles


  Represent action, direction and dynamic tension. They could either be stable or unstable depending to their location or placement.
• Spirals


  Depict creativity and continuity. They suggest process, evolution and transformation.
• Form


  Describes the depth of three-dimensional 3D objects. It is achieved by combining two or more shapes and may vary in texture, color, and size.
• Texture


  Describes the surface of an object or element.
• Types of Texture


  • Tactile Texture
  • Implied Texture
• Tactile Texture


  Also called as "real texture". A 3D texture which people can actually feel or touch.
• Implied Texture


  A 2D texture which can be seen but not touched.
• Color Palette


  A set of colors used in emphasizing, distinguishing and organizing information or elements in a design.
