Creative Resources
As part of our continued commitment to the area of design research, we regularly update our extensive graphic design resources.
For example we have a constantly expanding and fully searchable design glossary of terms.
The glossary covers terms and definitions ranging from web design, to branding concepts; typography to pre-press; and design software to printing terminology. Everything you need on your resume for university, or impressing at job interviews.
Creative Directory
We also have a design listings directory that lists hundreds of external design resources. |
Design News
The latest news from the International graphic arts industry.
Design Talkboard reports from around the industry to seek out issues that affect graphic designers, creative agencies, prepress professionals and art students.
For example, we recently reviewed two reports that affected jobs and employment prospects for British designers and the American design industry, in very conflicting ways.
And we have also been closely following the merger between graphics giants Adobe and Macromedia and we shall keep monitoring developments to see how they will affect graphic designers. |
Reviews and Research
We regularly review sources of graphic arts education and tools for design students, researchers, pre-press and production professionals.
This includes book reviews, training CDs and DVD's, graphics software tutorials and appraisals and reviews of sources that offer graphics software tutorials, such as InDesign and Photoshop training resources and QuarkXpress tutorials.
Articles
Recent articles on industry issues include a discussion on graphic design job titles.
We have also looked at famous designers and typographers and primers on such issues as what is graphic design? |
