This manual, "Iconic Communication," published in January 2000, offers a deep dive into the principles of combining visual elements with text to achieve clarity across diverse cultural landscapes. Authored by Philip Barker and Masoud Yazdani, it presents a critical framework for designing effective iconic communication systems. The work is particularly relevant for bridging linguistic and cultural divides, aiming to facilitate the development of computer-based systems capable of conveying information on a global scale. Its content is geared towards graphic designers, human-computer interface developers, and those engaged in Information Technology degree courses, highlighting its significance within the Information and Communication industries.
The purpose of this document is to provide comprehensive guidance on creating and implementing robust communication strategies. It explores detailed analyses of how to effectively merge words and pictures, thereby enhancing understanding and reducing ambiguity. While this EPUB format manual does not include illustrations, its textual content is designed to equip professionals with the knowledge necessary to build more accessible and universally understood systems. This resource serves as an essential reference for anyone involved in the design and development of information systems intended for a broad, international audience.
Our society is becoming a more visual culture day-by-day. This book offers detailed analyses of how to combine words with pictures to communicate clearly across cultural barriers. While some information is better communicated by one kind of media than another, some information is communicated most effectively through a combination of media. This book presents a critical framework within which iconic communication systems can be developed to truly bridge linguistic and cultural gaps and to provide effective computer-based systems for conveying information on a global scale. With valuable insights for the Information and Communication industries, this book draws on the work presented at several conferences on the subject and is designed primarily for graphic designers and human-computer interface developers as well as supplementary reading on degree courses in Information Technology.
