Text Talk (pt. 2)

Continued from: Text Talk.

Research Question
How has the growth in technology and the introduction of "text talk" and "emoticons" affected the communication and design aspects of typography?

This could entail in the exploration of:
• Pictograms
• Hieroglyphics
• History of communication through design
• Technology development and growth
• Communication through technology

This graphic design forum thread asks a similar question and the replies are interesting. A lot of it also relates to the argument about whether the computer has been a positive or negative influence on the graphic design field.

  1. V. good quality comments. Applied to other readings/stuff would be good. The research question looks good.
