FASH 216 Images & Society

In Images and Society you will be introduced to a range of theories about how society uses images to communicate and express. Our contemporary culture is saturated with imagery, we are bombarded by images: advertising, TV, photography, film, art and the Internet all clamor for our attention. Our relationship with these visual signs, how we read, respond to and/or ignore them is a key factor in the way we live our lives. This course aims to provide the student with the visual and theoretical literacy with which to survive this bombardment and turn the energy of the world of visual communication to their advantage in its application within the world of fashion promotion.
