This book introduces basic linguistic theories which are appropiate to the visual domain of the designer. It explores the relationship between the strategies which speakers use to communicate effectively with each other and the visual counterparts which designers use in a similar pragmatic approach. It seeks to provide a better framework within which designers may use language in a more informed and creative way.
