I think it is a more intuitive process to decode the image. It’s what we do normally, you know. When you’re learning language, someone shows you an apple, and they say, “Apple”, and you say, “Oh”, and you link up that image with that word. It’s the same with alphabet books, when they have “A is for apple” you start learning basic words with basic images.
But there’s more complicated things to decode in pictures too. And there’s a lot of complicated, sort of visual design, and things that are happening in comics. And that takes a little learning. But that’s important because we’re in a very visual society now.
Kids aren’t going just have to write straight text as they grow up. I don’t know a single person in the business world that doesn’t have to make PowerPoint presentations all the time. They’re going to know how to have to present information in a visual way, and how to understand it, whether it’s a PowerPoint presentation, or it’s a poster on a wall at a voting booth, or at the post office or something.
