45 Symbols—Clay to Code # 45 Symbols—Clay to Code ### Across–Time Zone Global Book Launch Author: Franziska Müller With _45 Symbols—Clay to Code_ , Slanted Publishers presents a publication that brings together artists and designers from around the world who explore visual language as a tool for inquiry. Drawing inspiration from the still-undeciphered, 3,700-year-old _Phaistos Disc_ , the book reflects on how meaning is constructed, disrupted, and reimagined across time, cultures, and media. Through personal narratives and planetary perspectives, _45 Symbols—Clay to Code_ reveals how distinctive visual grammars emerge—shaped by experimentation, critical thinking, and bold storytelling. The publication highlights a diverse range of approaches that challenge established systems of communication while opening up new spaces for interpretation. Read more about the book here. To celebrate the release, we invite you to join an _Across–Time Zone Global Book Launch_ —a distributed virtual event spanning three live sessions.

Original post on writing.exchange

Are you aware of any interesting depictions of disaster response and relief in art?

I'm especially interested in community collaboration, rebuilding, not just "handing out the care packages".

Storytelling collapses when effects compete for attention.

Minimal effects allow emotion and narrative to stay in control.

Design your website like a nice restaurant I see the same argument play out over and over online: someone complains that all websites look the same and someone else says that’s a good thing since it makes them easier to use. But it’s not all...

The Barcode as a design object The barcode is an incredibly interesting and rather unique graphic device. Very few graphic inventions have shaped the visual landscape of our everyday lives as quietly and ubiquitously as the barcode.
