Visual Communications

Use Words, Pictures, and Designs in Equally in Respectful Ways:

THINK and QUESTION

Question everything!

The More You Know, The More you See

      Visuals Tell History       

Progress:1903 Wright Brothers take flight

Injustice: 1930 Lynchings

 Visuals remind us of injustice, inhumanity     

Visuals become iconic but are they natural scenes or manufactured?
