Paper Abstract:
|
The mission and curriculum of our Department of Visual Communication Design at the Yeditepe University in Turkey is designed considering the rapid change, which the modern communication tools, systems and institutions are put through in terms of dimensions and contents as well as the social ramifications that they cause. Apart from the changes in the areas of manufacturing, technology and commerce, the changes in the cultural and political spheres also enhance the functions of communication. While the focus of discussions in communication studies was placed on the radio, TV, printed media and cinema until only a few decades ago, we are confronted today with the prevalence of the complicated, diversified and puzzling means of communication. The main goal of this paper is promoting consciousness regarding the rapid developments especially in the modern communications media and their cultural and economic effects as well as outlining a model that serves to make the necessary knowledge and skills possible in pursuit of success in the Information Age. |
