In one, easy-to-use volume, Design for Communication: Conceptual Graphic Design Basics provides applied coverage of the basic conceptual graphic design principles. In this text, Elizabeth Resnick compiles 42 creative college-level graphic design and typography assignments that emphasize developing a conceptual approach to graphic design problem-solving. Written by 21 professional educators representing colleges and universities in the United States, England, Germany, Turkey and Korea, each assignment is illustrated with actual visual solutions developed by their students in the classroom. Student process narratives and the educator's critical analysis revealing fundamental principles of form and content enhance the example projects.
