The Graphic Design Bible
The definitive guide to contemporary and historical graphic design for designers and creatives. 'Everything you can think of is covered...and everything in between. The Graphic Design Bible plays to all of Inglis's strengths as an all-rounder - designer, writer, historian, researcher, editor and educator...His writing balances expertise with accessibility...many graphic design educators will wish they had the budget to buy every single one of their students a copy.' Eye Magazine Designer, writer and lecturer Theo Inglis takes readers through the story, theory, and practice of graphic design, from its historical origins up to the present. Chapters on typography and mediums provide an extensive exploration of how each has been utilized and revolutionized through the years. Extensively illustrated with both historical and contemporary examples, each topic is divided into concise and easily digestible sections. This introductory primer will provide a thorough foundation in all the key ideas, issues, contexts and applications surrounding graphic design, expanding your knowledge and understanding of the rich world of visual communication.
Towards a Cognitivist Understanding of Communication Design
This book demonstrates the relevance and importance of cognitive linguistics when applied to the analysis and practice of graphic design/communication design. Phil Jones brings together a diverse range of theory and organizes it in accordance with different stages in the design process. Using examples from contemporary communication design, as well as more familiar selections from the graphic design canon as case studies, this book provides an account of how meanings are made by users, and suggests new strategies for design practice. It seeks convergences between the ways that graphic/communication designers think and talk about their practice and the theories emerging from cognitive science. This book will be of interest to scholars working in design, graphic design, the philosophy of art and aesthetics, communication studies, and media and film studies.
