Critical Issues in Graphic Design

Through much hard work and research, this book was put together by Eastern Ken- tucky University’s senior graphic design class, graduating in May, 2012. They each researched and wrote on a topic about graphic design, learned more about their field, and individually designed each article under the careful mentorship of their professor, Ida Kumoji-Ankrah. Without her, this book would not be possible. Professor Kumoji selected the topics for this book. Different topics are addressed, such as global de- sign, packaging, and starting your own design firm. Along with Professor Kumoji-An- krah, the class would like to thank other professors and independent designers who offered their opinions and ideas about design. With that being said, dive in and read the lively and interesting discussions about designing in today’s ever-changing world.
