| Summary: | "World Without Words is not just about the blur of 'universal' communication devised by international design committees and boards of directors, however. It investigates the ways in which accepted graphic systems are transformed by different cultures or individuals, and spotlights fascinating examples of wordless design from around the world. The book also examines how artists and activists are coming to terms with our visual culture through their work, finding innovative new applications for the text-free graphic image." "World Without Words identifies vital currents in the graphic communication of brands, facts, public information and private conversation. It is a book for anyone interested in how design crosses cultures and how it is being shaped by the speed and scope of modern communication."--BOOK JACKET. |
