Visual Vernacular or What It Means to Tell a Story

Journal Entry: Sun Nov 22, 2009, 1:12 PM



When I was in my Ill 1 class, my instructor told us she was teaching us the "Visual Vernacular." Awesome alliteration aside (oh god, I kill myself), I really liked hearing it put that way. It was really apt describing visual elements and style as language, because really aren't all illustrators about telling stories?

  • Listening to: "My Body Is A Cage" - Arcade Fire
  • Reading: Boneshaker ~ Cherie Priest
  • Drinking: Ume Tea + milk <3
