Readability Squidoo Lens
  Readability is a basic design goal for anything meant to be read by a general population. Text meant for a general readership should have a reading grade level of at most 8. Better still would be a reading grade level of 6 or 7.

Visual Literacy Squidoo Lens
 

"Visual Literacy refers to a group of vision-competencies a human being can develop by seeing and at the same time having and integrating other sensory experiences. The development of these competencies is fundamental to normal human learning. When developed, they enable a visually literate person to discriminate and interpret the visible actions, objects, symbols, natural or man-made, that he encounters in his environment. Through the creative use of these competencies, he is able to communicate with others. Through the appreciative use of these competencies, he is able to comprehend and enjoy the masterworks of visual communication."
