Design and the Digital Humanities: A Handbook for Mutual Understanding

Editat de Milena Radzikowska, Stan Ruecker
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 mai 2022
The twin disciplines of visual communication design and digital humanities are natural allies, with much to be gained from mutual collaboration. The training, experience, and inclinations of both fields naturally coincide, and both disciplines are generative in nature, with the ultimate end, in many cases, of designing and creating the next generation of systems and tools. For all they have in common, though, combining the two fields can be complex and challenging. 

Drawing on more than twenty years of experience, this book will prepare professionals from both fields to work together. Milena Radzikowska and Stan Ruecker outline disciplinary perspectives, share common pitfalls to avoid, and break down foundational concepts from both disciplines. With illustrated case studies from cutting-edge research projects, supplementary reading lists, and dozens of practical exercises, this is an essential, accessible handbook that will bring design and the digital humanities closer to mutual understanding.
