This course examines the issues which affect the communication and presentation of visual information in design and other disciplines which deal with text and images. A series of lectures and tutorials will introduce students to the theories and principles of visual communication and information design. Students from different disciplinary backgrounds will be able to interact, acquire, develop and use skills based on visual thinking and critical analysis to address issues dealing with textural and visual communication in society. The course provides opportunities for students to examine conventional communication methods and to approach creatively the dissemination of visual information in ways which are well conceived, communicative, interactive, responsible, comprehensible and user-friendly.
