A comprehensive and highly visual overview, from the cultural and theoretical background to the amazing variety and everything one needs to know about the creative potential of emojis and how graphic designers can capitalize on this exciting communication trend.

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 written communication to become a pop culture phenomenon of their own. This handbook is a manual and source of inspiration for anyone seeking to understand and use the full potential of emojis in visual communication.

It 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 one’s 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.
