"How can we make sense of the myriad visual images surrounding us today? How can we strategically use images with a clear understanding of their function and impact? This book answers these questions by providing new "ways of seeing" visual representations through different lenses and in different contexts. It then provides practical guidance for creating purposeful and ethical visual communication. The authors recognize the accelerating dominion of images in communication, society, and culture. We humanbeings process images and video effortlessly and automatically. Visuals carry an emotional and visceral punch that text can rarely, if ever, match. As multinational marketers, social media influencers, and teenagers on TikTok know, visuals create their own language, accessible to all, regardless of traditional textual barriers of understanding such as education or language"--

Teaches visual literacy, theory, scholarly critique, and practical application of visuals in professional communication careers 

Based on years of research, Visual Communication Insights and Strategies explores visual imagery in advertising, news coverage, political discourse, popular culture, and digital and social media technologies. It is filled with insights into the role of visuals in our dynamic social environment and contains strategies on how to use them.  

The authors teach theoretically-informed literacy and critical analysis of visual communication and show how to assess and apply this knowledge in the fields of advertising, public relations, journalism, organizational communication, and intercultural communication. This important book: 

  • Reveals how to analyze visual imagery 
  • Contains a research-based approach to the topic 
  • Introduces a 3-step process, Research-Evaluate-Create, to apply the knowledge gained  
  • Combines research, theory, and professional practice of visual communication 

Designed for undergraduate and graduate courses in visual communication courses, as well as visual rhetoric, visual literacy, and visual culture, Visual Communication Insights and Strategies reveals how to apply rhetorical theories to visual imagery.
