In recent years the balance between these elements has shifted. This book bridges the gap between education and emerging practices to provide students and practitioners with the information they need to understand the new skillsets required to succeed in this changing communication environment.  Organized into themes of brand, experience, conversation, participation, navigation, advocacy and critique, it explores the core ideas shaping contemporary practice.  Alongside case studies of game changing projects, it uses analysis of historical context and interviews with key thinkers and practitioners to provide a relevant and contemporary guide to the creative employment landscape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn important book and one that deserves a space on the shelves of communication design students, educators and practitioners. -- James Corazzo * Art, Design \u0026amp; Communication in Higher Education *\u003cbr\u003e[This book] explores design and art direction in a practical way that bridges the gap between in-class work and the professional world. * Eye Magazine *\u003cbr\u003eThis equally vivid and ambitious book features countless case studies and interviews with pioneering designers, covering complex issues ...
