Description

This course is designed to give students a broad understanding of the impact visual messages have on society. We will discuss the similarities of how visual concepts are applied throughout the various media. The main goals of the class are: to see the interaction of visuals with words; to begin learning a visual language, and why it is important; to begin thinking visually and to look for ways to communicate visually; to utilize an overview of critical deconstruction and semiotics; and to be able to create and apply visual concepts across the different areas of communication.
