Limited Language ist eine 2005 von Colin Davies (University of Wolverhampton) und Monika Parrinder (Royal College of Art, London) begründete Website, die der Diskussion um Design eine zeitgemässe Plattform gibt. In den vier Jahren seit der Live-Schaltung sind zahlreiche Essays und Kommentare zu den Schlüsselthemen der heutigen visuellen Kommunikation zusammengetragen worden. Das Buch limited language : rewriting design untersucht nun die Beziehung zwischen traditionellen Print-Formaten und neuen digitalen Tools wie dem Bloggen. Hybride Medien verändern heute bereits das Design; wie kann man sich diese zunutze machen, um auch das Schreiben über Gestaltung neu zu denken? limited language : rewriting design kreiert einen innovativen «Schreib-Raum» und ermöglicht die Distanz und Reflektion, die nur ein Buch bieten kann. Jedes Kapitel enthält einen Artikel der Website, der mit User-Kommentaren konfrontiert wird, während diverse Farbabbildungen die Artikel/Rückmeldungs-Konglomerate illustrieren. <A href="http://www.limitedlanguage.org">www.limitedlanguage.org</A>

Limited Language is a web-platform, co-founded in 2005 by Colin Davies (University of Wolverhampton) and Monika Parrinder (Royal College of Art, London), for generating writing and discussion about the design process. Over the last four years the site has collected a series of essays and commentary dealing with the key issues which effect and shape visual communication today. limited language: rewriting design, examines the relationship between traditional printed formats (the book) and new digital ones (blogging). Hybrid media forms are already transforming design. How might they be used to rethink design writing? limited language: rewriting design creates an alternative and innovative "writing space" – the reflection and distance which can be offered only by a book. Each of its sub-sections comprises an article from the website, followed by a reflection/response to the topic by the responses raised on limitedlanguage.org, while rich visual imagery in colour illustrates each article/response. "This is a rare book about design that embraces ideas with as much enthusiasm as objects. It illustrates its premise by showing feedback culture in action. If you find yourself wanting to join in the dialogue with thoughts of your own – and you will – their website is ready and waiting." – Rick Poynor <A href="http://www.limitedlanguage.org">www.limitedlanguage.org</A>
