Summary
"Useful pictures exist in abundance." "Useful pictures are teaching aides, way finding designs, road maps and corporate charts." "Useful pictures visualize diverse terrains, be they landscapes, strategies, metaphors, data, concepts, or other information." "This publication explores how artists designers and curators employ images to represent narratives - conversations, memories, histories, analyses and projections."--BOOK JACKET.
