This poster and template was part of a Visual Literacy campaign in a New England NSW high school. It links the techniques of visual literacy to the subject Work Education. Students can see that a job advertisement (for a jackaroo on a cattle station) can be used to demonstrate how the designer of the advertisement has employed an image to emphasise setting, orientation, use of carefully crafted writing that twins with the image and omission of difficulties associated with work in an isolated location to create an advertisement that portrays the job being advertised to its best advantage. Students can select their own image from a job advertisement and replicate the techniques being taught. It also enables students to write extended critical responses to a job advertisement image.

This Visual Literacy poster demonstrates how the techniques behind visual literacy can be used by students studying Dramatic Arts. It was part of a whole school Visual Literacy campaign in a New England NSW high school. In this poster students are introduced to the concepts of pose, mood & atmosphere, texture and style. Examples of each of these elements are provided in the image (a Game Boy cover). The second page has an excellent template developed by the English Teachers Association of NSW. This can be used for students to analyse their own image in Dramatic Arts.
