FORUM 1

In this class, Discussion Forums are an important part of interacting with your classmates. They are also an important part of your grade. Every week we will have a class lecture, respond to a discussion forum prompt, and make comments on our classmates' posts. In total, Discussion Forums make up 30% of your final grade.

For Forum 1, describe your current level of knowledge about Visual Communication. We live in a world completely saturated with visual images, but how often do we stop and think about them? Have you had any prior training in studying visual messages such as a course in art appreciation, photography, or design? Are you a producer, as well as a consumer, of visual media? In what ways have social media changed how we communicate visually? How do you think digital technology has affected visual communication?

To receive full credit craft your own post and then make a meaningful comment on at least two (2) of your classmates' posts. A meaningful comment is defined as 2-3 sentences that demonstrate clearly you have 1) read their original post in its entirety, and 2) you are responding to their thoughts and ideas in a clear and respectful way.
