By Deborah Enzmann

A means of expression for billions of people, emojis have established their function in our everyday lives. Increasingly complex in quality and quantity, these written language companions have long since transcended the realm of media writing to become a pop culture phenomenon of their own. This book is a manual and source of inspiration for anyone seeking to understand and use the potential of emojis in visual communication.

The author combines cultural, historical, and theoretical backgrounds with practical application examples. Selected works from recent years demonstrate the formal diversity of emojis and offer inspiration for your own work. Specific cases are used to show how emojis can be used in very different ways in the implementation of design tasks and creative projects to thus become part of visual identities.
