The first-ever book-length history of Arab graphic
design PROSE AWARD WINNER, ART HISTORY & CRITICISM
Arab graphic design emerged in the early twentieth century out
of a need to influence, and give ...expression to, the far-reaching
economic, social, and political changes that were taking place in
the Arab world at the time. But graphic design as a formally
recognized genre of visual art only came into its own in the region
in the twenty-first century and, to date, there has been no
published study on the subject to speak of. A History of Arab
Graphic Design traces the people and events that were integral
to the shaping of a field of graphic design in the Arab world.
Examining the work of over eighty key designers from Morocco to
Iraq, and covering the period from pre-1900 to the end of the
twentieth century, Bahia Shehab and Haytham Nawar chart the
development of design in the region, beginning with Islamic art and
Arabic calligraphy, and their impact on Arab visual culture,
through to the digital revolution and the arrival of the Internet.
They look at how cinema, economic prosperity, and political and
cultural events gave birth to and shaped the founders of Arab
graphic design. Highlighting the work of key designers and
stunningly illustrated with over 600 color images, A History of
Arab Graphic Design is an invaluable resource tool for graphic
designers, one which, it is hoped, will place Arab visual culture
and design on the map of a thriving international design
discourse.

El estudio busca analizar la capacidad del diseño gráfico para mejorar la actitud inicial de los estudiantes hacia lectura de artículos científicos. La investigación emplea como variable dependiente ...la configuración visual de estos textos, a partir de diferentes categorías visuales (personalidad tipográfica, legibilidad, contraste y composición) que se utilizan para diseñar ad hoc cinco pares de reactivos y, como variable independiente, la preferencia. Con una metodología basada en un panel de expertos y una encuesta cuantitativa, las conclusiones revelan un importante vínculo entre la calidad del diseño gráfico de los artículos y la aceptación de los usuarios.
Reading Graphic Design History uses a series of key artifacts from the history of print culture in light of their specific historical contexts. It encourages the reader to look carefully and ...critically at print advertising, illustration, posters, magazine art direction and typography, often addressing issues of class, race and gender. David Raizman's innovative approach intentionally challenges the canon of graphic design history and various traditional understandings of graphic design. He re-examines 'icons' of graphic design in light of their local contexts, avoiding generalisation to explore underlying attitudes about various social issues. He encourages new ways of reading graphic design that take into account a broader context for graphic design activity, rather than broad views that discourage the understanding of difference and the means by which graphic design communicates cultural values. With a foreword by Steven Heller.

Graphic design's reputation for ephemerality belies its ability to lend substantial physical form to a culture, whether positive or toxic.
Graphic design has always told our stories, but what does it ...have to do with culture or love? A graphic designer shares his views about the relationship so that it can continue to play this role, in a more expansive way, well into the future.
Este ensayo problematiza el lugar del dibujo de observación manual en clases de dibujo de carreras de diseño gráfico. Nuestra propuesta de enseñanza se apoya en estudios de investigación ...exploratorios y empíricos y en investigación cognitiva aplicada: 1) validando que copiando-imitando dibujos de artistas, los estudiantes pueden lograr resultados creativos y competencias de dibujo esenciales para los diseñadores gráficos; 2) sugiriendo - dibujar de dibujos de mestres – y deduciendo estrategias de enseñanza de cinco mecanismos cognitivos identificados, que fomentan la creatividad: "reinterpretación" o "relajación de restricciones"; "abstracción flexible"; "combinaciones"; "préstamo de estructura" o "mapeando" y "encontrar un nuevo espacio problema".
The adoption of meaning by the recipients of the graphic message can show significant divergences. Some intrinsic to the message, what the designer wants to communicate and what his audiences ...perceive; and others extrinsic to the message: what various receiving subjects perceive, interpret or how they give meaning to the content-bearing forms of the graphic message. In this text we want to reflect on it and to do so we exemplify it in the concepts shown on the doors of public toilets. The related concepts are: He as opposed to she, the man as opposed to the woman or the male as opposed to the female. Therefore, we agree that sex may well be the concept and assignment of that meaning the intention of communication.
