Title
The Art of Simplicity

Summary
Problem: Complexity
How can we communicate effectively enough to stand apart in an overwhelmingly complex world?
Solution: Clarify and simplify
Humans are pattern-seeking, naturally filtering out what is unnecessarily complex or unremarkable. To stand out in culture, communication needs discipline: clear focus, compelling messaging, and visually powerful imagery. Mastering the art of simplicity is essential to make it so.

Call for Papers
UDA Biannual Int'l Design Research Journal
Submit before Monday, March 27, 2023

The Design Behaviors journal aims to standardize research methodology and terminology related to the communication design discipline.

The design originated from nature/environment, and we understand our existence in nature/environment by how design influences us consciously and unconsciously. Its power is evidenced by how we know, what we buy, where to go, why we act, and most of all; it shows where we are now and where we are going. Design can describe sustainability or ephemerality based on its function and message. And we acknowledge its aesthetics and purpose through the five senses (sight, touch, taste, smell, and sound). Also, it manifests our feelings and conceptions. Naturally, the design is our entity. Therefore, design is not a purely natural outcome; instead, intellectual activities such as theories and methodologies construct the aesthetics and function of the forms.

Design is not either art or science; it is a cross-disciplinary 'Art & Science.' Hence the design discipline has been increasing global educational value in graduate and Ph.D. programs. Our profession formulates and unifies design research methodology and terminology with adequate and innovative design research support by selective programs globally. Hence, the Design Behaviors Journal's goal is to share innovative and practical research methodologies globally for formulating and unifying the design discipline.

Call for Entry Signs, Systems, and Letterform Mark

Call for Entry
Signs, Systems, and Letterform Marks (SSL)
UDA Annual Int'l Design Competition 2022
Submit before Monday, March 20
Award Announcement on Monday, April 24

Signs communicate ideas through visual elements. Systems integrate many ideas into one family. Letterform Marks combine types to present a specific concept. A graphic designer manipulates and perfects the visual form to ensure a clear understanding of the user.

These signs, systems, and letterform marks visually convey our behaviors, beliefs, and institutions. They warn us of danger, guide us through space, inform us of choices, and portray organizational attributes. While we vary religiously, politically, socially, and culturally, universal signs, systems, and letterform marks can unify humanity through communication. Design students and professionals continuously revise old ones and create new ones. They establish a language we can all understand.
