Description:
Visual Communication Quarterly is an international, peer-reviewed journal of theory, research, practical criticism, and creative work in all areas of visual communication. Our goal is to promote an inclusive, broad discussion of all things visual, while also encouraging synthesis and theory building across our fascinating field of study. We define “visual” in the broadest sense of the word-from dreams and cognitive theory through gesture and geography, as well as issues concerning visual ethics, visual ecology, representation, visual media in all forms, and visual behavior. Methods range from tightly controlled quantitative studies through critical analysis, essays, qualitative scholarship and creative art.
Our mission has broadened beyond visual journalism, design and media to address the need for a publication encompassing the complex and wide-ranging field of visual communication and visual studies across media, art and science. Our new format and distribution system not only allow us to publish more articles and creative work, while maintaining rigorous peer review, but also will facilitate international access of articles and images through on-line databases.
