【Course Objectives】

This course is an introduction to visual literacy and the grammar of graphic design. Through a variety of media (text, fashion, film, and advertising), this course will introduce the students to the language of visual communication, visual narrative, and multimodal representation.

【Course Contents】

The reading of a story begins at first sight, and in texts that involve graphic elements (e.g., illustrations, captions, icons, animation, etc.), this primary level of reading is both immediate and lasting in its impact upon the viewer/reader. Through the analysis and practical interaction with visual symbolism, structure, and the connection of elements (people, places, things), this course will explore the “grammar” of the graphic text and provide a method for understanding and expanding visual literacy in different contexts.
