This book will be invaluable for anyone wanting to communicate through the use of images and text, and in particular for students, whether in the fields of graphic design, advertising, editorial design, journalism, new media, information technology, mass communication, photography, film, or television in fact, any discipline that seeks to deliver a message through words and pictures. Essentials of Visual Communication is illustrated throughout with up-to-date examples of best practice from around the world that help to put visual theory into context.
