Overview of class

In Visual Communication, students will develop strong creative visual communication skills in an increasingly digital world. Students will learn about and design communication vehicles for specific audiences. We will study a human-centered design framework and apply those skills to develop visualizations for marketing, presentations, data analysis, websites, personal branding and more.

The modern approach of this course will help students evolve their visual communication skills, while honing the ability to tell great stories, present to large or small groups, and simplify complex topics. This course will include experiential learning opportunities, thought-provoking projects, and hands-on creative work. No design or technical skills are required for this course.
