Description
AUSTRALIAN AUTHOR There is often little difference between the communications of corporations within any given industry sector. The reliance for recognition more often is the responsibility of the trademark. This volume gives insight to a method of broader visual language that reduces this reliance and gives more opportunity for corporations to respond to business change, increasing product ranges and gaining higher visibility. This is not about advertising; it's about utilising existing budgets for a strong, more visible result. Beautifully packaged and designed, and richly illustrated with insightful commentary from an international body of peers, this book harnesses the thinking and philosophies behind some of the world's most influential practitioners in the visual language fields.
