OverviewHow We Read examines the first encounters MA Graphic Media Design students have with graphic design literature and how their educational backgrounds shape their perceptions of design writing. Developed by Carlos Romo-Melgar and Bryony Quinn as part of the Literature Review module at London College of Communication, the publication presents an AI-facilitated comparative review based on responses from the 2023–24 MA Graphic Media Design cohort.ConceptThe publication explores three reading categories, Seminal, Disciplinary and Positional, highlighting the different ways students engage with design literature and connect these texts to their own practice. To support comparison across the dataset, the editorial design adopts a consistent layout system throughout, using colour and typography to distinguish between each section. This structured approach helps navigate complex information while creating clear visual relationships between different perspectives, reading histories and critical interpretations.
The different classifications of periodicals are divided into 3 main chapters in the publication. Keeping a consistent layout, the publication uses colour and typefaces to differentiate between each section.
