Drawing on a diverse array of service and design related thinkers and practitioners, this volume is a timely and critical review of the themes and intersecting disciplines that are questioning and opening up the field towards plural perspectives, showing its complexity, exposing its challenges and offering practical examples and directions.With the growing popularity of service design both in industry and academia, The Bloomsbury Handbook of Service Design examines the discipline’s core principles to develop our understanding of the context, role and impact of this practice. The editors bring together multiple voices from around the world to share experiences and perspectives on how service design interacts with global topics such as climate, social justice and racial issues, and looks at directions for the future.Organised into five distinct sections, chapters explore a variety of key topics within the world of service design, including Plural Service & Design Cosmologies, A Critical Agenda for Service Design, Contextualising Services, Systems and Change, Developing Service Design Practices and Approaches, and Building Futures

This new handbook takes the broadest possible view of typography, defining it as ‘design for reading’. It considers all kinds of reading matter and visual communication systems; digital, environmental, printed, and produced by hand.By offering a rich collection of texts that are genuinely international in authorship and in scope, it seeks to rebalance the Western bias of so many books on the subject. It gives space to new voices and emerging standpoints about the global nature of design, the needs of particular communities of readers, and about the need for inclusivity and historical understanding in design practice and research.Thirty-seven chapters by forty-three contributors show the interdisciplinary range of research in typography today, exemplifying the relationship between history, theory, and practice that is at the heart of the discipline. They feature over 500 illustrations, mostly in colour, and full bibliographic references.Topics include:Typography and sociolinguisticsFrameworks for considering scripts and multilingual documentsHistorical and contemporary Arabic-script typographic practiceDesigning fonts for marginalized communities in Asia, Africa, and North AmericaThe earliest movable type in China in the tenth centuryUnderstanding Japanese and Korean typographyApproaches to legibilityWestern influence on the typography of indigenous writing systemsPolitical and technological factors that shape typographyExperimental and commercial publishing contextsThe type design industry todayTypography in the environment
