Crow, David Unknown AVA Publishing SA (Lausanne, 2018) (eng) English 9781350096547 Required reading range 1st ed. VISUAL COMMUNICATION; Unknown Left to Right: The Cultural Shift from Words to Pictures is an in-depth study of the increasingly visual nature of our culture, and the influence that digital technology has had on the way that we communicate.

It demonstrates that the development of language has gone hand in hand with the development of technology, discussing the challenge posed to alphabetic information by the rapid development of screen-based media over the latter half of the twentieth century.

This title is a detailed discussion of the role design and other creative disciplines have to play for a new image-centric generation.
