Two Ships Passing with Kyle Schlesinger,
Assistant Professor of Communication Design, University of Houston – Victoria
April 30, 6:30 pm
Art Building, Room 1.120
The spring 2013 edition of Two Ships Passing focuses on the topic of pacing and features invitee Kyle Schlesinger and his guest. Central to magazine work—online or in print—is the consideration of the pacing of images, texts, and ideas. Structuring how information unfolds over time concerns many of those working in temporal media such as magazines, films, or written narratives; these structures may have their own meanings that affect the reading of their enclosed content.
