Synopsis

Mapping Eclecticism Through Practice brings to the fore academic research on the following question; where if any do the mutual theoretical frameworks and methodologies lie within communication design, graphic design, illustration and visual communication? In this inaugural edition, the refereed submissions discuss a range of practices and approaches that include the use of socially responsible design and persuasion, as well as collaboration with other disciplines, to improve safety; framing theory and ideograms within architectural pedagogy to convey complex ideas and relationships; literary analysis to explore graphic design authorship, narrative and viewer experience; discursive dialogue and a non-linear presentation to interrogate and shed light on personal practice; and cartographic metaphors as a means of visualising and investigating the topography of graphic design. Includes: Certifiable Patrick Baglee. Light | Night: The Bike Light Dance Project: A Case Study of Design as Rhetoric Gloria Lee, University of Texas, Austin. Designing Distance: a first-person visual narrator Kate Sweetapple, University of Technology, Sydney. The Architecture of Conversation Lizzie Ridout.
