Visual communication overview

by Tom Johnson on May 1, 2016
categories: visual-communication

In this series on visual communication, I'm going to explore in a variety of topics in visual communication, such as screenshots, diagrams, concept illustrations, SVG graphics, translation, image file management, graphics programs, getting professional-looking images, images on mobile displays, print versus online images, design principles, and more.

For a little background about why I started this course, see Starting a new series on visual communication.

The content here is a draft in progress. I will be publishing about two new sections a week here for the next year. After I finish collecting the material, my second approach will be to organize it into a logical, coherent flow. Right now the topics and sequence are mostly random.
