Become a critical consumer of visual media

The Essential Guide to Visual Communication is a brief introduction to the evolution, theory, and principles of visual communication in contemporary society. This guide helps you develop the skills you need to become a critical consumer of visual media by examining images through the lens of visual rhetoric. You’ll see how images influence and persuade audiences, and how iconic images can be repurposed to communicate particular messages. Images throughout the text highlight examples of visual communication from earlier generations as well as the current digital environment you encounter in your everyday life.
