Call for papers: Iridescent announces new guest editors and themes
17.03.2011 News
Montreal (Canada) - Teal Triggs, Professor of Graphic Design at the London College of
Communication, University of the Arts London, and Alice Twemlow,
Co-founder and Chair of the Design Criticism program at the School of
Visual Arts in New York have joined Iridescent: Icograda Journal of Design Research as Guest Editors.
Four new themes announced
Triggs and Twemlow have each nominated two new themes for paper submissions. Iridescent is now accepting papers addressing:
Understanding the role and impact of communication design
"These themes have been proposed so that we might consider not only where we are today in understanding the broader role and impact of communication design, but also its potential and future positioning within ever-changing political, social, technological, economic and cultural contexts," says Teal Triggs. "By focusing on the specific areas of public engagement and postgraduate education, we might be able to demonstrate the innovative ways in which communication design and its corollary research is shaping our design futures."
Alice Twemlow also adds, "As a design historian and critic with an interest in graphic design, these themes appeal to me personally but, more than that, I also think design writing and the use of design are timely topics that connect with the concerns of many of todayÂ’s practitioners and commentators. With the proliferation of design blogs and independent publications, more people are exploring the craft of writing, and seeking new ways to express their perspectives, and new venues in which to do so. Additionally, as more designers experiment with design projects that require the increased participation of users, so there is a need for research that documents and reflects upon this paradigmatic shift in production. I am excited to see what IcogradaÂ’s constituency is doing, thinking, researching and writing and I am ready to engage in dialogue with them on these matters and more."
