The eLexicons
The eLexicons are unique learning resources for the visual arts. They are delivered over the internet, accessible via desktops, laptops, iPads and iPhones. With biographies, work examples, bibliographies and glossaries, the eLexicons provide the complete foundation for study in higher education.
Graphic Design
The Graphic Design eLexicon covers the biographies and work examples of the most notable exponents, consultancies, their schools and associations. It allows the student to discover the relationships which have shaped the history of graphic design and its future.
Typography
Over 10 years in the making, the selected entries in the Typography eLexicon contain definitive information about the most significant exponents, companies, typefaces, schools, associations and publications. There is also a comprehensive illustrated glossary.
Graphic Art eLexicon
The Graphic Art eLexicon was published in 2008, including many images of posters and rarely seen artworks. Extensive research and access to collections has enabled the addition of hundreds of images within the eLexicons, many unfamiliar, all providing inspiration for students, teachers and practitioners.
Lettering, Art and Craft
Lettering craft, calligraphy, letter-cutting and commercial lettering are often neglected in today's graphic education. This eLexicon covers the whole subject, its people, techniques, schools, associations and periodicals, including current exponents and their work.
Illustration eLexicon
This covers illustrators, their schools, their associations, and the awards they receive. As with all the eLexicons, the student can dig deep into the subject, exploring relationships, often surprising, that emerge from the information. And gain inspiration from the examples.
Editorial content
Biographies are written from verified, often primary, sources. Eminent academic advisors and practitioners advise on subject matter. Extensive glossaries and bibliographies underpin the breadth and accuracy of the information. The scope of each subject extends from the historic to contemporary, updated constantly.
Licences and support material
A subscribing institution has access to its own domain, allowing student access and providing usage statistics. The annual licence is based on student numbers. Early subscribers in the UK included the University of the Arts, London and The University of the Creative Arts. Support material includes lecture guides, indexes and reading lists.
