The importance of visual literacy
Speaker
About this talk
Our world is more visual than ever before. Millions of images created daily are steering elections, changing lives and crashing servers. David Hooker, lead creative at presentation platform Prezi, argues that this situation makes visual literacy a key life skill to cultivate. "Images are too important to outsource to others," he says. "And too powerful to consume without due care and attention."
