WELCOME MESSAGE

Dear Colleagues,

Icograda is pleased to introduce to you our newest initiative, Iridescent: Icograda Journal of Design Research. With the launch of this peer-reviewed journal, Icograda continues to support the development of communication design education in theory, practice and research.

This online platform seeks to engage the global design community as a whole in much-needed critical commentary on the state of our profession. Scholars and researchers from each region of the world are able to share their insights in any of the six United Nations languages and we hope to reveal new voices to the international design discourse through this inclusive approach.

By attracting original content across all design disciplines and setting a standard for innovative research, Icograda hopes to inspire and encourage new and unconventional approaches to design research.

We hope that you find this journal a valuable resource and utilise it as a benchmark for your ongoing research.

And... please do let us know how we can improve.

Best regards,

Omar Vulpinari
Icograda Vice President 2009-2011
