In this inaugural edition of Framework, an annual publication produced by the Communications Design community at Parsons, the work of students across the Communication Design's Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA), Master of Professional Studies (MPS) and Associate of Applied Science (AAS) programs is brought together and celebrated.

Documentation of student work is presented along with the text of talks by visiting designers, including Talia Cotton, Jessica Wexler, Njoki Gitahi, and Archie Lee Coates IV. A typographic showcase and an overview of activities, events, core courses, faculty, staff, and all of the details that shaped the 2021-2022 terms is also included.

Framework highlights the many ways students and faculty alike build and support one another by translating, creating, and articulating ideas and forms, and creates a valuable capsule for thinking about contemporary communication design practice and pedagogy in the 21st century.
