| Résumé : |
“Visual communication encompasses drawing, photography, three-dimensional modeling, and film; abstract and realistic forms, static and moving images, simple and complex ones as well.
It extends to questions of visual perception such as the relationship between figure and ground, camouflage, moiré patterns, optical illusions, illusory motion, mirages, the persistence of vision, and afterimages.
It includes every aspect of graphics, from the design of typographical fonts to newspaper page layouts, from exploration of the limits of word legibility to the techniques that facilitate the reading of texts.
All these facets of visual communication share something in common: objectivity.”
Bruno Munari
Design and Visual Communication—the first-ever English translation of Bruno Munari’s extraordinary Design e Comunicazione Visiva (1968)—remains an important guide to bridging design education and everyday life.
Published after Munari served as visiting professor at Harvard’s Carpenter Center, Design and Visual Communication takes over fifty lessons, class materials, and even letters home in which he describes life in America, and transforms them into a book about the future of art, architecture, and design.
Conceived as a living volume, the book was written as inspiration to current and future designers to push beyond the past, however recent, and develop new tools to see and understand tomorrow’s world. |
