Difference between Graphic Design or Visual Communication?!
Can anybody who currently studies Graphic Design or has any knowledge within this subject give me a little bit of advice. 
Im looking into Graphics courses and can see that some are called Graphic Design & others Visual Communication?!
There seems to be a difference in the course content for both. Visual Communications seems to look at other aspects of design alongside Graphic Communications such as Photography, & Film/Animation. Graphic Design purely focuses on the many aspects of Graphics such as typography, branding, packaging & also touches upon Photography and animation.
Im really confused
Whats the real difference? Are Visual Communication courses more targeted for people who dont know what type of design, to specialise in...
