Abstract

This edition of Image & Text invites readers to review a number of pertinent design issues – the development context, the primacy of the visual in design, embracing the digital age and the creation of a South African cultural landscape through popular expressions of entertainment and the medium of advertising. Although the articles deal with seemingly diverse topics, each in its own way confirms that designers need to continually reflect on the essence of what they do, their attitudes, preconceptions and
how they define themselves.
