This groundbreaking approach to visual media analysis explains the tools to assess media and provides examples for an analytical model which can be followed.

All visual media compositions, such as photographs, advertisements, newspapers, TV programs and websites, are carefully designed to create the appropriate effect on the audience. Designers use semiotic tools such as color, framing, focus, positioning of elements and font style to communicate with the viewer. These choices make up a visual language that we can analyze.

Multimodal Analysis looks at the separate components of this language to build up a toolkit for analyzing the "grammar" of visual design and describes important differences between images and language and the way they create meaning.

Includes images throughout and a color plate section, this is an essential resource for students studying multimodality within visual communication in media and cultural studies, critical discourse analysis, journalism studies or linguistics.
