What do graphic design and page layout have to do with contemporary literacy and learning?

Another good question.... lol... I believe that we are living in a era where computer literacy is an absolute MUST! Graphic design provides a learning environment that fosters creative thinking and personal artistic development which influences one's literacy and learning. Today's students are more advanced because they have grown up with computers and have accquired many of the features necessary to be computer literate. Graphic design enables students to visualize many concepts that used to be in text form only. It also allows for a more interactive and fun way to learn!

For me, I just wish I had more time to play with these programs. It just takes practice and use to become good at this! :)
