Images surround us in daily life.<\/strong> They inspire us, warn us, persuade us, and constantly compete for our attention. We don’t remember most of them, but some of them seem to stick with us. What is it that makes an image memorable or persuasive? How does a strong image appeal to our common psychological\u00a0 foundations? And,\u00a0 for\u00a0 example,\u00a0 why\u00a0 does this\u00a0 image\u00a0 by\u00a0 Dorothea\u00a0 Lange\u00a0 stand\u00a0 out\u00a0 from\u00a0 the\u00a0 others\u00a0 she\u00a0 took\u00a0 the\u00a0 same\u00a0 day\u00a0 in\u00a0 1937?\u00a0 (The others are in the header, above).<\/p>\n

It seems simple to begin with, but there are complex processes going on beneath the surface.<\/p>\n

Visual communication<\/strong> is the original form of mass communication, going back long before the introduction of writing.\u00a0 Symbols formed the basis of written language.<\/p>\n

These symbols and archetypes can be traced even further back, as a basis of human psychology, bound up in\u00a0 \u00a0pre-historic memories. As we begin to ask questions about the power and social impact of visual imagery, we open a need to understand more about its physiological, psychological, historical, technical, aesthetic and ethical roots.<\/p>\n

When we look at the work of\u00a0 great artists, designers, photographers, or filmmakers, we find that their work portrays some human emotion or a view of the human condition in a way that reaches into our own emotional systems and resonates at some depth. The question is how that takes place, and there is no one particular right answer, because visual communication is essentially about art and emotions, not science and logic.<\/span><\/p>\n

The study of visual communication usually begins with the basic physiological and psychological foundation of vision and perception. Another area of study incorporates aesthetic theories to help evaluate visual communication. A course in visual communication can also introduce practical skills and a set of methods for thinking about visual communication issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
