Final Reflections: Visual Communications

Visual Communications

Use Words, Pictures, and Designs in Equally in Respectful Ways:

THINK and QUESTION

Question everything!

The More You Know, The More you See

      Visuals Tell History       

Progress:1903 Wright Brothers take flight

Injustice: 1930 Lynchings

 Visuals remind us of injustice, inhumanity     

Visuals become iconic but are they natural scenes or manufactured?

War 1945

                                      A picture is not always reality

Is this necessary? Nagasaki

War- what is it good for?

Visuals make us question

War is over 1945

A famous kiss by two unknowns

Visuals tell a story of a particular day

They make us feel
