Visual Messages: Graphic Communication for Senior Students

Not every picture is worth a thousand words, but graphic communication is nevertheless an essential part of modern life.

It is one of the most important means by which ideas are transmitted from one person to others, and this importance has grown alongside the development and influence of the printed media. VISUAL MESSAGES is an accessible. practical introduction to the subject, and its many illustrations leave no doubt about the message the authors themselves are trying to convey. The present volume represents a considerable expansion and deepening of the ideas and concepts in the first edition, and much new material has been added. Intended primarily for Victorian high-school students up to year 12, VISUAL MESSAGES should also be of interest to schools elsewhere in Australia – as well as to the general reader.
