What does a course in visual communication has to offer? What does it take to get admission into this program and which institutes would you suggest for the same?

Visual communication design is an essential part of advertising, films, television, internet, and everything advanced that catches our visual attention. For instance, animation designing is one of the forms of visual communication design. Animation is used for creating visually enticing special effects in TV, Advertising, and Films and over the web. The work will include creating a visual script consisting of drawings on paper for the animation sequence, key scenes and characters. You will have to digitally scan the animations, view and maneuver these in three dimensions (3D). You will learn in this program about the instilling of illusion of movement in these scripts, which is animation. It takes manipulation of light, color, texture, shadow transparency to create the magic and that is what visual communication is all about.
