Visual Communication: From Theory to Practice de Jonathan Baldwin

Visual Communication: From Theory to Practice: Required Reading Range

Autor Jonathan Baldwin, Lucienne Roberts
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 iun 2006
Visual Communication: From Theory to Practice explores how cultural theory can be applied to the real-world practice of graphic design. Theories are presented and then discussed by designers such as Neville Brody, Michael Bierut, Erik Spiekermann and Joan Farrer. Issues such as mass culture, political design and semiotics are all debated, making this a unique companion to theory and culture modules on any undergraduate degree course in graphic design. Visual Communication helps students to develop sound critical judgment and informed strategies for the conception of new ideas that accurately reflect the current zeitgeist.

Recenzii

I love the way AVA lays out the content in their books. The quality of the books themselves as well as their content have been key factors in my using them as course materials.
Introduces a critical framework within which to locate graphic design issues and activities ... I think this is a really good book ... It asks a lot of questions and challenges assumptions. Most students switch off during theory debates - but this puts the debate into context and illustrates arguments well.
Overall Visual Communication: From Theory to Practice is a welcome addition to the expanding library of work that looks at graphic design in a broader and more contextual manner. Design programs would do well to look at incorporating this book into their curriculum. Pulling together theory and practice, and placing design at the heart of communication, this book is important for graphic design education.
If you read this book you will pass all your design studies without even thinking about it!
This book is excellent. It is beautifully presented and well printed. It is going to become a highly recommended book for my students throughout the course of their postgraduate studies ... This book will really help students get to grips with the links between theory and practice.
Excellent, well informed and lucid book which effectively balances sophisticated and complex theoretical concepts with well chosen and relevant practical examples, serving to contextualise theory in a manner that I would expect to engage students at all levels of undergraduate design study.
This is a well-written book, expertly designed by Bob Wilkinson and the sans+baum studio.
This is a well-researched, no-nonsense look at the key cultural, social and political issues affecting the graphic designer of today.
