Product Description
Digital Creativity
'Here is a book truly worth adding to the studio bookshelf...a richly illustrated commentary and reference work which can be regarded as almost a manual for designers, computer scientists and others who use icon-based systems.'
Synopsis
The two parts of this book examine how iconic communication developed historically and is continuing to do so in this age of digital information. The first part gives a comprehensive overview of the uses that evolved throughout the centuries, from earliest known symbols and icons. The second part looks to the future and the effects of the computer on icons and symbol systems. The role of designers is discussed, stressing the need for them to collaborate with practitioners and consider multi-cultural aspects, in an ever-changing situation.
