This challenging course introduces students to the study of Visual Communication. Students explore how visual images persuade us to act and think in certain ways. They learn a vocabulary of visual meaning-making (i.e., a visual language). Building upon the vocabulary, they learn how images can be rhetorical and persuasive within a professional communication context. Further, they learn how visual images manipulate and become manipulated by a surrounding visual culture. It is recommended that students should be in their third or fourth year of study. Lect: 3 hrs.
