Session Title: What Makes Visuals Speak?

Date: Monday, January 28, 2008
Time: 1:30pm - 3:00pm
Room: Concordia

Description

In this session we’ll explore the elements that make visuals speak. We’ll start the conversation with photographs, exploring not only the story, but also the visual language  elements that reveal less conscious aspects of what we are saying. By using a set of tested photographs, we will quickly delve into an in-depth conversation of how to utilize visual elements to their fullest.  You can expect to come away from this experience with a greater understanding of how to effectively use visuals to uncover strategic vision for individuals, groups and organizations.

This session will be experiential and fun. No drawing required!

Working in a group

Each group created an image together to answer: What makes visuals speak? It was up to the members of the group to determine the process they would use. Each group's process is unique. Creating an image with other people is different than doing it alone. Suddenly you have to negotiate. Or not, as the case may be. The process and conversations become as important as the product itself.
