From that starting point, my investegation
evolved over four phases. Phase
I began with a period of experimentation
as I tried to develop and test potential methods for analyzing
visual news content. Phase
II involved refining the theoretical
and conceptual framework of my investigation. During Phase
III, I began to design and develop
an interactive prototype.
The prototype that emerged at
the end of Phase IV
is designed for use as a teaching resource that could
be mapped onto existing, introductory, college-level media
studies curriculums. It was designed to provide students
with an interactive method for building visual literacy
and media literacy skills through exploring the role that
visual language elements play in shaping the presentation
of information in news content.
*NOTE* This prototype is a partially
functional interface.
To see which interfaces have been built out and are working
in this version of the prototype, please refer to the
