Visual Literacy A NECESSARY COMPONENT OF TECHNICAL COMMUNICATION

Visual Literacy  Visual Culture  Tech Communication and Visual Literacy  Visual Social Semantics -- Visual Analysis  3D Instruction Manuals  Emotionally charged for the future

“ ” Visual culture is concerned with the visual events in which information, meaning or pleasure is sought by the customer in an interface with visual technology. - Nicolas Mirzoeff

Evolution of Visual Culture

“ ” Technical communication is the creation of technical documents, you are writing, designing, and transmitting technical information so that people can understand it easily and use it safely, effectively and efficiently. - Mike Markel

“ ” A variety of terms to represent the visual, including visual rhetoric, visual communication, and visual language.” - Tiffany Craft Portewig

Visual Social Semantics The description of semiotic resources, what can be said and done with images, and how the things people say and do with images can be interpreted.

Visual Social Semantics  Kress and van Leeuwen (1996), “recognizes that image performs simultaneously on three kinds of meta-semiotic tasks to create meaning.”

Three Meta-Semiotic Tasks Representational metafunctionInterpersonal metafunction Compositional metafunction

Representational metafunction Looks at the person, place, or objects in the image.

Interpersonal metafunction Covers the participants’ actions producing and viewing the image.

Compositional metafunction How an image creates meaning through the visual syntax of image and layout.

Final Note: Remember not all technical communication may be as it appears. It requires visual literacy savvy.
