The journal Visible Language has just published a special issue on Critical Making. The journal web site is:
http://visiblelanguagejournal.com
This is the December 2015 issue, edited by Jessica Barness and Amy Papaelias. The issue is titled
Critical Making. Design and the Digital Humanities.
The Visible Language web site is about to go through a major upgrade and renewal, with the contents of the first 50 years of this fine journal made available open access following a short embargo period on current contents.
Founded half a century ago, Visible Language is the oldest design journal in the world. For those interested in design, it is worth a look — especially with the full contents accessible as open access documents.
Happy New Year,
Ken Friedman
