Riassunto:

<p><i>Visual Communication: From Theory to Practice</i> 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. <br><br>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. <i>Visual Communication</i> helps students to develop sound critical judgment and informed strategies for the conception of new ideas that accurately reflect the current zeitgeist.</p>
