Book: DESIGN AND VISUAL COMMUNICATION by Bruno Munari
“Visual communication encompasses drawings, photographs, three-dimensional models, and films; it includes everything from abstract to realistic forms, from still to moving images, from simple to complex iconography. It also extends to the realm of visual perception, such as figure-ground relationships, camouflage, moiré patterns, optical illusions, mirages, and afterimages. Visual communication includes all aspects related to graphics, from the design of typographic fonts to newspaper page layouts, from exploring the limits of word legibility to techniques for making text easy to read. Across these various aspects of visual communication, a common characteristic exists: 'objectivity.'”
—Bruno Munari
This book is a reissue of the first English translation of Bruno Munari’s acclaimed work, *Design e Comunicazione Visiva* (1968). Published after his tenure as a visiting professor at Harvard University’s Carpenter Center, this volume has evolved into a discourse on the future of art, architecture, and design, incorporating over 50 lessons, educational materials, and even letters detailing his life in America. It continues to be an essential guide connecting design education with daily life. Conceived as a "living book," it encourages current and future designers, its readers, to generate new tools for observing and comprehending tomorrow's world, free from the constraints of recent past or old frameworks.
This reissue includes new annotations by Munari scholar and design historian Jeffrey Schnapp. These detailed additions highlight why the book remains relevant today.
