Visual writing is a form of writing that incorporates visual elements such as imagery, symbolism, and metaphor to create a more vivid and engaging experience for the reader. It goes beyond simply describing a scene or setting, and instead uses visual language to evoke emotions and convey deeper meanings.

When a writer uses a visual metaphor, they are using a comparison between two seemingly unrelated things to create a deeper understanding or connection for the reader. This can be done through the use of descriptive language, symbolism, or even through the inclusion of actual visual elements such as illustrations or graphics.

By using a visual metaphor, the writer can create interactivity by engaging the reader's imagination and inviting them to make connections between the visual elements and the written text. This can lead to a more immersive and interactive reading experience, as the reader is encouraged to actively participate in the creation of meaning and interpretation of the text. Additionally, visual metaphors can also help to make complex or abstract concepts more accessible and relatable to the reader, further enhancing the interactivity of the writing.
