Introduction to Visual Culture

Today we live in a world full of images. Everywhere we look we see pictures, videos, advertisements, and graphics. This is what scholars call visual culture. Visual culture means how images and visual media influence the way people understand the world.

Visual communication is used in many areas such as marketing, media, education, politics, and social media. This blog explores how visuals affect society, culture, and the way people think.
