Book design is the art of incorporating the content, style, format, design, and sequence of the various components of a book into a coherent whole. In the words of Jan Tschichold, book designer, "methods and rules upon which it is impossible to improve, have been developed over centuries. To produce perfect books, these rules have to be brought back to life and applied."
Visual aids are often used to help audiences of informative and persuasive speeches understand the topic being presented. Visual aids can play a large role in how the audience understands and takes in information that is presented.

Personal response depends on the viewer’s individual thoughts and values. This might be sometimes in conflict with cultural values. Also when a viewer has viewed an image from a personal perspective, it is then hard to change the viewer’s perception of the image, even though the image can be seen in other ways.
An image’s view can arise from the history of the use of media. Some images are viewed differently due to the use of different (new) media throughout times. For example: The result of using the computer to edit images (e.g. Photoshop) is quite different when comparing images that are made and edited by hand.
The cultural perspective involves the identity of symbols. The uses of words that are related to the image, the use of heroes in the image, etc. are the symbolization of the image. The cultural perspective can also be seen as the semiotic perspective.

Betsy began playing the cello at the age of six and studied with Michael Evans of the Dartington String Quartet.

Four years later she graduated from the RNCM with a Diploma in Professional Performance and a Bachelor of Music Degree from Manchester University.

During her time at the RNCM Betsy won several prizes and was a finalist in the Pierre Fournier Award with pianist Steven Osborne, performing in the Wigmore Hall, and the BBC Young Artists Forum, performing live on BBC Radio 3.
