(2-9) Visual Language for Designers: Getting Graphics
The videos below add to information you learned in your reading assignment about getting graphics.  The videos are about the information processing model and encoding strategies.  They repeat information from the reading in a very organized way, and add new information as well.  As you watch them, think in terms of how you - as a graphic designer - could use this knowledge to create graphics that are memorable. You will also find some useful strategies that will help you become better at moving working memory into long-term memory.
