Harry Jamieson has been concerned with aspects of the visual since his time in art education. He later moved into the university sector where he was engaged in research in a number of fields, including educational technology. He helped to found a department of communication studies, and has lectured on visual communication at home and abroad.
"The visual arts are more than visual and more than aesthetic expression. Behind their visual surfaces, they tell us how the body and its organs create the knowable and meaningful forms that sustain human existence, how the organs and senses construct the human world out of the latent and invisible forces that mediate the body as primitive feelings and sensations. The significance of Jamieson's book is that it addresses the subject of the visual arts from this wider vantage point. For Jamieson, the visual arts reveal visual communication as the means by which the body and its organs communicate with its surrounding forms." - Robert Cooper, Keele University, United Kingdom "This text purports to offer a new means of understanding visual communication. The author, Harry Jamieson, has worked in a number of distinct fields: advertising, art, education, as a research scientist for the Medical Research Council and as an academic at the University of Liverpool. In the text he obviously draws upon these different careers and produces a complex and original approach to the study of visual communication." - Marcus Leaning, University of Wales "Visual Communication: More than Meets the Eye brings back all the fervour and insight of the best analyses of visual communication...It contains numerous insights to help media practitioners, artists and educational designers to understand their crafts. Jamieson goes beyond the descriptive approach typical of broadcast and media studies analysts, and treats underlying themes of the visual in art and the media." - Jon Baggaley, Learning Media and Technology
