Central to the book is a series of progressively challenging projects, ranging from traditional print to sophisticated websites, interactive CD-ROMs and multimedia, and 3-D motion graphics. Heavily illustrated with compelling work by students enrolled in Graphic Design programs across the U.S., The Digital Designer takes readers step-by-step through the design process with unprecedented attention to developing and refining the design concept, as well as the execution strategy. Narrative solicited directly from Graphic Design instructors accompanies illustrations of high-quality student work, helping to explain and reinforce important digital design principles and methods. The result is a book that empowers 21st century Graphic Designers, enabling them to work effectively across a wide range of fully digital and exponentially expansive media as they promote goods and services and build links between present and future.

Perspectives on Learning: Information Theory and the Sciences of Complexity

Stephen Pite
The sciences of complex adaptive systems describe a universe of variability and transformation. The centrality of the role of information, information exchange, and information management across networks of nonlinear interaction provides a key to understanding the regularities of dynamic change in these systems.
Drawing from contemporary theory in biology and physics, the role of information in the networked structures of complex adaptive systems points towards a common source for the patterns of transformation in complex systems. This model of networked interactions offers an opportunity to examine similarities of learning behaviors in natural and cultural systems, challenging developmentalist paradigms.
The sciences of complexity suggest new approaches to formal educational practices. They pose challenges to mechanistic approaches to learning strategies. The research program proposed in this thesis offers an alternative perspective from which to observe and assess complex adaptive behaviors in formal learning practices.
