This class is intended to teach the aesthetic, cultural, and rhetorical uses of Web-design techniques—including writing—and not just the technological tools. It is designed, however, assuming no prior knowledge of Web design, and providing introductions and resources to master the basic skills.

In addition to teaching the mechanics of graphic production, "Visual Rhetoric and Culture" draws widely on the disciplines of digital design, statistics, narrative literature, engineering, and technical writing to offer you the interpretive and strategic skills to conceive, to think about, and to write about visual texts critically.

This class will explore the relationship between New Media and writing. You will learn skills and methods of New Media production (that is, the hands-on creation of digital, screen-based, networked, verbally/visually hybrid media), and the opportunities they provide for writing beyond the mere delivery of information. In doing so, you will gain perspectives on the not-always-apparent continuities between New Media and the literary use of words and design, and between digital and literary cultures.
