A useful tool

This is an interesting, engaging entry point into the analysis of visuals as communicative, or rhetorical, devices. Even ten years later, much of Kress and van Leeuwen's book is still relevant and easily extrapolated into the digital media. It provides, as a colleague of mine said, a useful toolbox for any critic.
