So, I'm obsessed with this game that you can play on your iPhone. It is called Angry Birds. The reason why I think this is visually blog worthy, is the type of visuals seen in this game and how awesome they are when it's simply a game just for a phone. Angry Birds is a puzzle video game developed by Finland-based Rovio Mobile, in which players use a slingshot to launch birds at pigs stationed on or within various structures, with the intent of destroying all the pigs. It was inspired by a sketch of wingless birds and in my opinion has became so addicting to many people.
This is a photo of the sketches of the different types of birds used in this awesome game!
I'm pretty positive if you ask anyone with an iPhone if they have played angry birds, they will definitely say they have...at least once.
This photo is what the game looks like on the phone.
Because this game is so visually amazing, I'm going to include a video from youtube.com to show this :)

My all time favorite movie scene is from The Notebook. First of all, this is my favorite movie. It is the greatest love story and makes me cry every time I watch it even though I've memorized every single word to the movie. This scene visually shows so much love and passion, hurt and regret, happiness and fright. It's an amazing scene and Rachel and Ryan did a wonderful job playing Allie and Noah!
Blog Post 1 The Affect of Visual Symbols
Visual symbols and the affect they have on our lives is something we tend to not focus much on unless it is brought to our attention. Some of us, (myself included) don't realize just how important visual symbols are in life. For example, from the minute I wake up to the first ten minutes of being awake, I already encounter so many visual symbols it's unreal. I wake up to my alarm clock and check the time to make sure I haven't overslept. I am able to choose which clothes to wear, and I am able to look outside and see what the weather looks like to base my clothing choices off of my visuals. Without visual symbols, life would be completely different. For me, some visual symbols (such as being able to see cars when walking to class) are a necessity in my everyday life. They are such important aspects that are unfortunately not thought about all the time. A visual symbol/s I appreciate are black and white photographs. I absolutely love black and white romantic photography. I've included one of my favorite pictures.
