In the cover photo, Oogy seems to be looking directly at the viewer. His gaze is strong yet steady and calm. One expects a pit bull to look threatening, but with Oogy's missing ear and crooked mouth, he does not look threatening at all. His direct gaze immediately engages the viewer and invites empathy. Our response is a purely emotional one.
The cover photograph is hard to look at because Oogy is so physically damaged. Yet, the visual message is indeterminate. There is no guide to interpretation, which means that people coming from different cultural paradigms will use different codes in order to decipher the message encrypted in the same image .One might assume that the dog underwent an accident or was beaten or was even born this way. The main strength of the image is the force with which it invokes unconscious identification, hence the powerful impact that the…...

Visual Communication
Pages: 3 Words: 945

Visual Culture: The Reader. Edited by Jessica Evans and Stuart Hall. New York: Sage, 2002.
According to Victor Burgin's rendition of photography, how do photography and text relate to one another?

Photography and text never simply stand beside one another. Rather, the two exist in dialogue. Burgin suggests that when a text and a photograph exist together, they create a new text that stands apart from the two, original products -- in other words, even if the two appear to be complementary on the surface, the two fused together create a new text and message for the reader of the photograph and text, a reader who is apprehending the photograph and the words simultaneously.

For Burgin, a photograph is a text in and of itself -- although an apparently frozen image, it too tells a story. Words create images in everyone's mind, but the words are different for every reader of a…...

James ond is presently one of the principal sexual concepts that the film puts across. Daniel Craig's ond is no longer seen as a very effective killing tool, as it shown as an object of admiration.
Craig's physical appearance is no longer a crime deterrent, as it is actually used with the purpose of impressing viewers. This ond is no longer yelling, as he speaks in a gentle voice and some might even be inclined to consider that he has become more sensitive. When considering ond's overall development, it appears that society is becoming more and more obsessed with the masculine body image and less preoccupied with manliness as an intellectual concept.

The masses in the 60s saw masculinity as an idea that needed to be exploited and largely believed that men had to be particularly aggressive in order to truly be appreciated by individuals around them. However, trends changed and…...

Visual Literacy in Higher Education

..now requires understanding and manipulating the processes used to create messages in the modern world" (Adams & Hamm, 2000, p. 22) in fact the student is expected to be able to decode the information from various types of media. However the equally important point is also made that this expanding definition of what literacy comprises does not "...diminish the importance of traditional reading and writing skills; rather, it recognizes the increasing importance of information and communication technology" (Adams & Hamm, 2000, p. 22).
This is an important caveat to the enthusiastic embrace of modern technology and visual aspects of modern teaching. In other words, while visual literacy has become more important and while this aspect is closely linked to the use of modern technological tools such as computer, yet the basics of teaching and education should not be forgotten. Of equal importance however is the view that; "Today's students live in…...

Communication History

Communication History
Fans of science fiction are fond of recalling a remark by novelist Arthur C. Clarke, to the effect that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. I am currently typing these sentences onto a laptop, where I am also currently watching a grainy YouTube video of the legendary magician Harry Houdini, performing one of his legendary escapes -- from a straitjacket, in this case. Houdini is probably the most famous stage magician of the twentieth century, as witnessed by the fact that his name is familiar to my generation although he died almost a century ago. If Houdini were to suddenly reappear in front of me right now -- in the flesh, I mean, and not merely on YouTube -- how would I explain to him that the way in which all of this is taking place? To someone who has been dead for a century, the notion…...

Visual Analysis
Pages: 2 Words: 709

Visual Analysis
In the text, Blair asserts that rhetoric and argument have been conventionally linked to the verbal. In turn, he purposes to consider whether visuals can be arguments. An argument in this context encompasses the reasons for accepting a particular point of view. He elucidates the erudition that indicates that arguments are not just verbal in the same ways to the arguments made by Birdsell and Groarke. Despite this, Blair goes on to proclaim that even though there can be purely visual arguments, a great deal of communications that contend to be visual arguments are amalgamations of the visual and the verbal. Owing to this, Blair goes on to examine verbal and visual arguments. He labels the grouping of these two arguments as visual. On the other hand, he labels verbal to be stringently verbal. Bearing this in mind, he delineates that a visual/verbal is an argument contrasted with solely…...

Visual AIDS
Pages: 1 Words: 355

Visual Aids
Yes, I agree that sometimes technology and visual aids become more distraction than the presentation itself. One of the popular examples in which the use of visual aids and technology is distraction is where the main concerns of the speaker is not to explain or convince the audience rather state simple facts -- for example, everyone knows that drinking or smoking is harmful for the people, or pollution leads to many diseases in the living bodies. In both of these cases, everyone knows the facts and their effects; therefore, using technology and visual aids is unlikely to add any thing new the presentation. On the contrary, the visual aids are likely to be distraction.

If the speaker wants to make the use of visual aid, the following steps can be taken: first, the speaker can provide the hands-out of the write-up to the audience, since the speaker is not showing…...

Communication on Some Level Art Is Communication

Communication
On some level, art is communication. The artist creates a visual element that conveys complex ideas, emotions, and concepts. Therefore, learning good communication skills is essential for an artist. Communication also requires creativity. Negotiating difficult deals and addressing conflict depend on creative problem solving skills.

Animators are called upon even more to be solid communicators because of the nature of their job. An animator renders stories into visual form. Storytelling is a form of communication. An animator who can communicate well is one who can convey the story arcs and dialog in ways that are memorable and meaningful to the audience. On a more practical level, animators work with people as a matter of course throughout their job. hereas a painter could be holed up in a studio for six months out of the year, never talking to anyone, an animator will rarely live an isolated lifestyle.

Pages: 2 Words: 656

Communication
Effective written communication is necessary in a number of different situations. In the first section of this paper, I discuss my areas of personal weakness in written communication. Those areas include improving my tone and voice, understanding my audience's point-of-view, and improving my self-confidence. Effective persuasive communication depends on rhetorical strategies like pathos, ethos, and logos. In the second section of this paper, I suggest how to solve a specific problem using effective written communication.

Whether dealing with a casual conversation with a friend about the need for sidewalks to improve community safety, an email to a boss proposing a new safety procedures, or an academic persuasive essay about the community's need for a free spay/neuter program, I will need to know how to communicate effectively. Effective written communication depends on choosing the most effective tone, voice, and style for each situation. One of the three aspects of my writing I…...

Communication
The Application of Five Communication Theories

There are countless communication theories, with each one looking at a different aspect of communication or looking at communication in a new way. The number of theories that exist raises the question of how they can be used to understand communication. The answer is that every communication is complicated, with one single theory not being enough to understand every communication completely. For this reason, various theories can be applied to various situations, with each one helping us to understand something about the communication. To consider how real situations can be analyzed, five communication theories will be described. Each one will then be applied to a real situation to show how the theory helps create understanding of the communication events and processes that make up human life.

Communication
isual 1: The message of the visual is clear, since it provides clearly drawn pictures of each food group, a written description close to each drawing, and a clear key to describe the fat and sugar symbols. Each written legend also states clearly how many servings of each group per day is recommended. The color is relatively clear, although the symbols for fats and sugars could have been more clearly distinguished in terms of both color and form. There does not seem to be an overabundance of either chartjunk or misleading information.

isual 2: The updated food pyramid does not seem as clear as the former one, since it is highly symbolic. The symbol is described by means of a color chart, but it appears that elaborate explanations are required to clarify the chart for users. Furthermore, the pyramid itself contains no clear specification on the food portions or indeed the…...

Visual 6: This visual provides clear information about access to broadband at home and at work between the years 1999 and 2005. What is not clear, however, is the meaning of the colored portions of each chart, and what the difference is between these and the grey areas on each chart. There is no explanation for the differences in color. There is, however, no chartjunk or information that could be regarded as misleading.

Visual 7: This visual contains two presentations: One that indicates the increase of fossil fuel usage and one that provides information about the increase of global warming gas emissions. Both provide very clear messages regarding the increasing risk to the environment. Both visuals make good use of color and imagery to fit in with the message of the charts. There does not appear to be any chartjunk or any misleading information.

Visual 8: This visual provides clear information about the worldwide burden of diseases attributed to alcohol. There is a clear color code to the bottom right of the chart, along with a narrative explanation of the legend. The chart clearly indicates that the burden is not uniform across the world, and that the southern parts of North American, along with South American and the central and eastern parts of Europe are most heavily plagued by these conditions. There is no misleading information or chartjunk.
