ILLU 325 Reading Graphically

The designer learns by seeing and students learn by reading. Reading Graphically takes a studied, methodological approach that combines reading and seeing to arrive at a heightened visual literacy. The ability to parse complex image/text media is the first step in creating it. The course provides a foundation for designers, writers, illustrators, advertisers and anyone else who wants to communicate in visual language. Readings provide a broad survey of print and new media that employs graphic strategy in instructive ways.
