David Machin is Lecturer in the Department of Media and Communication at the University of Leicester. He is co-editor of the journal Social Semiotics and has written five other books, including Introduction to Multimodal Analysis (Hodder, 2007), and News Production (Routledge, 2006), as well as co-editing the Media Audiences major work with Barrie Gunter.
A cogent and accessible book that explains how meanings are
made through visual and material resources. A must-read for those
interested in conducting visual analysis.
*Tommaso Milani*
Doing Visual Analysis places visual communication at the heart
of the political and social organisation of the everyday. It
provides an excellent introductory ′tool kit′ for researching how
visual materials shape what we do, how we think, and how we
experience the world.
*Carey Jewitt*
"Recognizing that research questions are generated within a context
of everyday life experiences and specific media use, this book
guides students to good research design as it trains them in
analytical skills. This innovative social semiotic approach is
distinct among such texts and will benefit students and scholars
alike."
*Catherine Preston*
