Judith and Richard Wilde's book entitled Visual Literacy illustrates how "visual communication runs throughout our daily lives, whether it's as simple as a traffic light or as complex as sign language...[The Wildes] propose that the repertoire of principles and techniques needed for effective visual communication cannot simply be taught, but must be developed, through hands-on experience with broad-ranging visual problems. Visual Literacy documents this learning process by presenting 19 challenging visual assignments and more than 1,000 pieces of solution art executed by the Wildes students."
