Introduction

This course about the aesthetics and production aspects of visual communication is designed to help students develop competence in reading and interpreting visual images. The course examines technical and stylistic aspects of the media through which we experience the world and analyzes ways of understanding visual images in a variety of contexts including print, motion pictures, still photography, graphic design, television and video, computers and the World Wide Web. The focus is on media stylistic conventions, the functions of visual images and the intercultural and cross- cultural implications of visual communication, and the contribution of visual images to the promotion of culture.
