Tips on making Visual Media like a pro

There are limitations to be observed when giving information through visual media so that it will be valid and reliable.

1. THE LANGUAGE

The language should be appropriate to the audience so that there will be no confusion, if not possible, subtitles can be an alternative.

2. AGE APPROPRIATENESS

The visual should be age appropriate to the viewers. It's because they may have other interpretation of things and won't understand it and some scenes/visuals may not be suitable for their age. Also, highfalutin words should be observed when making a visual media for your audience.

3. High quality

Don't choose low quality or pixelated pictures to use for your visual media and also, when uploading or importing your visual media, you should choose the highest quality possible for this may lessen the interest of your viewers.

4. Eye catching

A visual media should always be eye catching whether it is eye catching in the type face...

 or the font size...

 or even the contrasting of colors 

because this can increase the interest of your viewers. Take note that when making a visual media that is catchy to the eyes of the viewers, you must also be aware of where you’ll be presenting it or if it is appropriate to put designs and layouts to your visual media.

But, what is the relation of all these to our field (ABM)? 

First and foremost, visual media is a degree or work in fields such as graphic designer, exhibit designer, advertising, publishing and many more. These fields of visual media utilize various forms of communication about their ideas to aim the desired audiences. Especially in today’s generation, with the help of modern technology, a lot of visual artists know how to use or create visual images that helps the public to communicate with each other. The words that are used according to a specific field or group which is difficult for others to understand are called jargons. Therefore, in terms of being an ABM (Accountancy, and business management) student, jargons are used in various works like entrepreneurs, accountants, managers, CPA lawyers, businessman/businesswoman and many more. These works utilize various forms of communications through their words in a way that other fields can’t understand the terms that they are using. Also, another form of communication is their way of thinking about money and organizing ideas to put up a successful plan for their business and with the help of flowery words and a charismatic personality, they get investors and clients which helps the business grow.

Effects of Media to the youth

Today’s youth often watch television, play video games, use social media, listen to music, etc. and these simple actions can have a big impact on them. Watching television can influence the youth if they watch shows that are not suitable for their age because what they see is what they do. If they see other people doing it, they think that it is alright for them to do it too since they saw someone do it. Playing video games which has violence and death can influence the youth to be violent not only to their friends but also to their parents because that’s what they learned. Using social media has an effect to the youth today because this attracts coward arguments and exchange of words. In social media, you can post anything and once you post something, it will never be erased, it will forever be in the history of social media. listening to music can also have an effect to the youth because as we all know, music is everywhere. The music today either talks about drugs, sex, and depression which is an effect to the youth because just by listening to these, they can be influenced to the wrong things/actions. Let’s always remember to be careful with what we do and we should think before we click.
