Visual Expression

Also known as: Visual Self-Expression

The use of visual media — including photography, graphic design, social media posts, presentations, and art — to communicate identity, mood, intent, and personal style. Visual expression goes beyond functional content to encompass aesthetic choices like color palettes, filters, typography, layout, and imagery that convey subjective meaning. For blind individuals, visual expression is an important but under-supported aspect of digital participation, as most accessibility research has focused on functional rather than expressive visual tasks.
