Abstract

With issue 41, Progetto Grafico initiates a new editorial phase aligned with AIAP strategies, articulating itself into two complementary publications: a scientific version, the Journal, under my direction, and a Magazine addressed to a professional audience. The Journal responds to the requirements of the national and international scientific community in communication design. Its structure has been updated to align with quality criteria defined by ANVUR and other international research evaluation bodies. To meet these criteria, the new Progetto Grafico establishes broad cultural objectives in continuity with founding principles.
