Visual Communication: From Theory to Practice

Rate this book
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.

Un libro para quien desee discurrir sobre el tipo de inquietudes que ponen a prueba el diseño gráfico y otros diseños como el industrial y de modas, su impacto en la sociedad no puede ser ajeno a quienes ejercemos esta labor. Un libro a tener en cuenta especialmente para los educadores en el ámbito de la cultura visual
La estructura del libro es un gran acierto que facilita su lectura, buen equilibrio entre imagenes y texto los cuales tienen el gran merito de ser concisos en temas de gran profundidad, muy puntuales en los objetivos que se proponen.
