LibGuides: Graphic Communications: Welcome

Purpose

Use this guide to find and evaluate information and resources related to graphic communications.

Graphic design is the most ubiquitous of all the arts. It responds to needs at once personal and public, embraces concerns both economic and ergonomic, and is informed by many disciplines including art and architecture, philosophy and ethics, literature and language, science and politics and performance. -- Jessica Helfand, American Institute of Graphic Arts, 2004.
