meaning of visual decoupage Dimension
language
Image – refers to all communication instruments that are not primarily text, that reach us by means
of a two-dimensional medium, and that have a primarily communicative-rhetorical function.
Shape: The individual elements of an image are shapes but a whole
image can also have a shape. – shapes gain a virtual volume
through the addition of shadows and highlights.
Irving Biederman (1987) – describes the three-dimensional shapes
that people are able to distinguish.
• Mentions as many as 36 different so-called geons, which are
used by makers of computer games and virtual-reality
environments.
Visual communication – is the integration of images and elements
of images (visual elements) and words (verbal elements) to make up a unit of communication (Horn
1999)
Communicative-rhetorical – gives a normative framework
Three theoretical schools:
1. Gestalt Theory - Underpins the choices that one makes
2. Semiotics - Offers a normative framework for what may or
may not work
3. Modern Rhetoric - Provides a conceptual apparatus for
talking meaningful about images.
