- Postgraduate

The purpose of this essay is to examine the relationship among graphic design practices, cultural institutions and public audience. The analysis of each one of these components in the context of the contemporary dynamics provides the basis for a meaningful communication strategy, one that accomplishes institutional economic and social missions, provides designers guidance in their production and fulfils audiences personal interests and social expectations.
