1stRayOfTheSun rated 3 months ago- From the page: "Visual communication is the communication of ideas through the visual display of information. Primarily associated with two dimensional images, it includes: art, signs, photography, typography, drawing fundamentals, colour and electronic resources. Recent research in the field has focused on web design and graphically oriented usability. It is part of what a graphic designer does to communicate visually with the audience."

- From the page: This website attempts to walk you through the long and diverse history of a particular aspect of human endeavour: The translation of ideas, stories and concepts that are largely textual and/or word based into a visual format, i.e. visual communication.

- The History of Visual Communication This site is incomparable and the sort that gets around very quickly, as it should. It is difficult to describe the span of images and text: caves and computers, art, books, and print. It is simply a must see, so go. Deepest thanks to the always astonishing Alex for the stumble. Avant-garde in French means front guard, advance guard, or vanguard. People often use the term in French and English to refer to people or works that are experimental or novel, particularly with respect to art, culture, and politics. According to its champions, the avant-garde pushes the boundaries of what is accepted as the norm within definitions of art/culture/reality. The origin of the application of this French term to art can be fixed at May 17, 1863, the opening of the Salon des Refusés in Paris, organised by painters whose work was rejected for the annual Paris Salon of officially sanctioned academic art. Salons des Refusés were held in 1874, 1875, and 1886. ~ from the page

- If Sebastian of IntrepidDreamer nearly peed his pants when he reviewed this site, what do you think I did? (Perhaps do not try to picture what I did; &, besides, it would be hard, because what I did is not a common part of visual culture.) At last here is a quality website (well constructed, informative & fascinating) that, so carefully arranging material already available elsewhere but never put together in this context, devotes itself to visual history & provides us with a strong grounding in cultural production across many centuries, as well as providing us with amazing images of typography, printing & (gasp) books. Below are just some of the medieval beauties on this site. But the entry on the computer & the rise of deconstructive typography is exceptional. Take a journey from caves to computers, & prepare to be astonished by the histories and varieties of those cultural scratches on walls & tie us humans together - so tenuously, & so beautifully.
