DESIGN WRITING

- I'm working on my design writing website. Until it's ready have a glimpse on what I've been writing about lately.

BETWEEN CYBERSPACE AND COMMUNICATION DESIGN

For the last months we sought to establish the relational dynamics between two concepts  - cyberspace and communication design - considering adjacent aspects: cultural globalization, interface, internet and a new anthropology for digital society.

For this it was required to understand the cyberspace context and also the scenario in which it arises. We looked at the Internet as a primary tool of cyberspace and its importance in today’s society. It was important to look up for other aspects of cyberspace such as virtual reality, interface and hypertext.

We explored the influence and the role of new technologies on cultural globalization, the Information Society and the emergence of a new anthropology for the digital society.

We also tried to understand the design of communication as an actual activity and the impact of new technologies in it.

It was going through these concepts that we tried to build a bridge between the design of communication and cyberspace and tried to answer the initial premise of the work.

We have identified so many types of relationships and interconnections among these concepts: the cooperation, mutual dependence relationship, and the fact they both have information as common object.

Communication has changed significantly and it is here that we find the relations between communication design and cyberspace.
