DISCOVER HOPKINS MEDIA: Visual Journalism
- Session I: June 29 - July 12
Course Number: AS 360.122.01 (1 credit)
Instructors: Jeffrey Osborn and Joshua Korenblat
Cost: $1995
Description: How can we tell stories with words and pictures? If you ever want to publish stories in our highly visual culture, you should have an understanding of how words and pictures communicate and express in a persuasive way. At one point in history, images and words were one and the same. Even today, images are visual messages that also express an emotional world through shape, composition, color, and style; words, meanwhile, are cues to a visual and sensual realm. Students in this course will write narratives and use them as a foundation for learning the basic principles of visual storytelling: photojournalism, illustration, and information graphics. For the illustration portion, we will stress insight and concept development through rough sketches. No prior art experience or computer knowledge is required. By the end of the course, students will have stories with words and pictures “to pitch” for publication, and these visual narratives will be presented in print and online.
