    About this ebook

    Legibility literally means "able to be read". This ability to be read combines visibility (the quality of being seen) with comprehension (understanding). Perception has a lot to do with legibility. It is by this complex process that we select, interpret and organize sensory stimuli into coherent pictures; then these shade into perception as we relate what we see and feel with past learning.
