Subject:       Visual Communication

Hello everyone.

Up to this point I have been doing a lot of reading but very little 
participating in this forum's discussions.  Since I have just finished my 
graduate course work, and am now beginning my journey into writing my thesis, 
I am hoping to find some suggestions relating to my particular interests. 

Although my specific "topic" or research question has not yet been chosen, I 
will be writing my thesis in the area of visual communication.  I have 
researched the numerous avenues of this area and have fixated my interest on 
the kind of visual communication that occurs (individually, interpersonal, 
small group, and publicly) while creating art or scribbling.  It is an area 
that is also known as visual thinking.  It is a different type of visual 
communication than the popular advertising and persuasion genres - which are 
currently dominating the research in the communication discipline.  It has 
more to do with art theories and psychology.

Can anyone help me with the following?

-resources
-current issues
-contacts
-useful methodologies (interdisciplinary)
-journal articles and essays

Please email any suggestions to me at: Lawneee@aol.com  

Your input would be greatly appreciated. 
Thanks!
