It introduces the way that information designers work, particularly in relation to what have been called ‘functional texts’ – those that enable people to take some kind of action, or to better understand something. Examples of late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century printed ephemera are used to draw attention to the ways that language and visual presentation work together to enhance the meaning of a particular message. The role of pictures in health communication is discussed with reference to Isotype and the work of Otto and Marie Neurath.

At present in most architectural practices, the way architec- tural design is presented involves computer-aided design to describe architecture for different purposes. Digital media has been employed for a creative proposal to achieve efficient communication. Although architects conduct and navigate design information, communication can be more efficient if architects convey exact messages. This paper investigates the way that architects communicate with stakeholders exploring their needs, including in digital media design to suggest new approaches that exploit capability of digital interactive media and networking. There is a clear need for a design process that ensures ac- curate communication, where both professionals and stakeholders can interact while the architectural design process is in progress. All stakeholders, not just architects need to be able to navigate the process. Finding a communication system through a website or application is recommended for this study.

  • Visual Communication Design Terminology
    VISUAL COMMUNICATION DESIGN TERMINOLOGY Term/illustration Definition Design elements Point A mark that may be used to indicate position and location. Point is small in relation to the whole of the design and is not necessarily circular. It can represent a point of measure or be used as decoration. It can add texture or tone. Examples of application include half tone printing, pixilation, dot rendering and map indicators. Line Line represents a single dimension, length, which connects one point to another. It can be straight, curved or irregular and combined with other elements. The weight and quality of the line may vary depending on its intended use and the tool used to create it, giving it character and meaning. Digitally drawn line can be clean and precise while one drawn with a brush and ink can be loose and relaxed. Examples of application include diagrams and illustration, printmaking techniques and technical drawing. Shape Shape is two-dimensional. It is the defined space contained within lines. It can be organic, geometric, abstract or symbolic and can be used in conjunction with other elements to create form or pattern. It can used to simplify complex objects for effective communication. Examples of application include logo, symbols, graphic design and stencil work. Form Form is considered three-dimensional and can be illustrated or constructed. It can also be organic, geometric, abstract or symbolic. Form may be created by the joining of two or more shapes and enhanced by tone, texture and colour. Examples of application include packaging forms, interior fit outs, signage, architecture and industrial design.

  • Communication Space : Spatial Design in Manufacturing Industry
    !! "#$$ !" # $ # # %& #'( ) !* +,-,-./**0 0/,/0 1 !2 3!4 ABSTRACT The main concern of this licentiate thesis is to discuss how built space is used for communication in the manufacturing industry, from a visual communica- tion perspective. The thesis presents and develops the notion of 'communica- tion space' and presents a model to describe the relation between different fac- tors in the communication space. In a multiple case study, six different cases from the manufacturing industry are described and analyzed to highlight how built space is used for communica- tion in a lean production context. Research results on how built spaces such as improvement places, meeting places and a development workshop affect im- provement processes and communication are presented. What the studied im- provement areas, meeting places and workshop can be said to communicate about the improvement processes is analyzed. The research results show that the built spaces in manufacturing industry are used for communication on two levels, both as places for interaction be- tween employees and as a part of a communication process. The study also shows a relation between architecture from a specific time and the relation to the improvement work in the industrial context. How the results can be used to facilitate communication in the built spaces used for improvement processes in manufacturing industry is suggested in the thesis. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author would like to thank all companies involved and their personnel who contributed to this study. I would also like to express my thanks to my current supervisors, Professor Yvonne Eriksson and Professor Monica Bellgran, and my first supervisor, Professor Mats Jackson, for supporting the work and giving constructive criticism in the early stages of the research education.

  • Visual Communication for Students' Creative Thinking in the Design Studio
    buildings Article Visual Communication for Students’ Creative Thinking in the Design Studio: Translating Filmic Spaces into Spatial Design Eun Joo Park 1 and Mi Jeong Kim 2,* 1 Department of Architecture, Sejong University, Seoul 05006, Korea; [email protected] 2 School of Architecture, Hanyang University, Seoul 04763, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Representing visual experiences is an essential part of architectural design education for creativity. The representation of creative ideas relates to the ability to communicate spatial design concepts. This study examined whether filmic spaces could function as visual communication to enhance students’ creative thinking in architecture. It explored how creativity can be supported throughout an architectural design studio with a conceptual tool that translates filmic spaces into spatial design. To investigate the ways to translate filmic space into spatial design tools for creative thinking, we conducted a design studio with first-year university students. Focusing on using various elements of film, including movement, frame, montage, light, and color, and scene changes to represent architectural languages, a curriculum was developed and implemented in a Visual Communication Design Studio for one semester, stimulating students to engage in expressing their ideas in three-dimensional spaces. The overall results suggested that the design education method that used the filmic space as a stimulating tool for creative thinking, emphasizing the role of visual communication, could enhance students’ creative thinking, leading to improved creative Citation: Park, E.J.; Kim, M.J.

    Frontiers in Art Research ISSN 2618-1568 Vol. 2, Issue 9: 83-87, DOI: 10.25236/FAR.2020.020915 The Development Trend of Visual Communication Design Chang Liu Zhengzhou University of Science and Technology, Zhengzhou 450064, China ABSTRACT.With the continuous rapid development of science and technology, people's material life is constantly enriched, and their spiritual life has also been greatly satisfied. In the new media era, the design concepts and expressions are affected by it and continue to appear. Innovative creation that meets the needs of social spirit. Visual communication design has a broad space for development in this environment. This article will start from the concept and status of visual communication in the current era, find problems from the status quo, and make a more scientific prediction of the development forecast of visual communication design, with a view to visual communication design in the new media development model can be more accurate for people Transmit complete and diverse information to make the design meet the social requirements. KEYWORDS: Visual communication, Design, Trend 1. Introduction As an artistic design, visual communication design can convey certain information. From the literal meaning, it is graphic design or graphic design. With the continuous development of digital technology and the continuous expansion of modern design, the development of visual communication design has deepened. Influenced by multimedia technology, it has penetrated into its various fields. When the visual communication design has not differentiated from the art design, the diversity of the design content can no longer meet the requirements of some information transmission, which to a certain extent makes the visual communication design come into being.
