Reviews

An important book and one that deserves a space on the shelves of communication design students, educators and practitioners.
*Art, Design & Communication in Higher Education*

[This book] explores design and art direction in a practical way that bridges the gap between in-class work and the professional world.
*Eye Magazine*

This equally vivid and ambitious book features countless case studies and interviews with pioneering designers, covering complex issues ... An excellent base ... readers will be well-prepared for the start of their professional life.

This is an excellent resource for students with a wealth of interesting material of high value.
*Tom Flint, Edinburgh Napier University, UK*

[Communication Design] has already become really valuable with my MA students, reinforcing the different trajectories of design practice they could engage with themselves. Now I have found the associated website I don't have to carry the book around with me so much!
*Sadhna Jain, Course Leader, MA Graphic Design Communications, Chelsea College of Arts, University of the Arts, London, UK*

The definitive guide to modern branding ... [Communication Design is] an inspiring and humbling collection of talent.
*Zeus Jones*

This is a great book, which will really help people to understand contemporary practice within graphic design and the creative industries. It tackles the bigger picture of visual communication, starting with the brand and following through into user experience, participation, navigation, advocacy and critique. The case studies and interviews are bang up to date and extremely insightful. A truly thought provoking and educational book.
