Melbourne University children rights. Visuall Essay

For your assessment, you are required to produce a “visual essay” that examines representations of a specific development issue of your own choosing (eg gender, famine, sustainability, etc). 

Once you have identified your chosen issue, you should source 3-5 images used in media, advertising, or reporting (including internal reporting) of the issue. You should have no more than 5 and no less than 3 images. 

You will then use your chosen images as the basis of an analysis that relates representations of your issue as seen through your images to discourses of development. Your images are equivalent to roughly 200 words text and should be embedded purposefully in 1200 words (DST2CTD students) of accompanying text. They should not be merely tacked on; they are central element of the analysis. Together the text and images should create a cohesive critical analysis of the representation of the chosen issue.
