Diagrams Dialogues

3 Credits · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

This class examines diagrams and visual thinking in comparative and historical perspective. Students will analyze diagrams and visual models as a unique communicative form that combines text, image, and elements of graphic design. They will also produce and design diagrams to share their own research. Note: This is not a course in applied data or information visualization (although elements of these practices may be considered). This course emphasizes the development, use, and critical evaluation of digital communications media. It includes instruction in the design and development of digital communications and the study of human interaction with digital media, as well as emerging trends and issues in the computational and digital landscape.
