The Faculty for Communication Design of the State Academy
of Art and Design in Stuttgart, Germany has recently
published the seventh edition of it's journal "Academic
Announcements 7". This issues' topic is all about
"communication". Nevertheless, the authors have taken a wide
angle to look at different aspects of communication.
Moreover, the magazine comes with a big poster and some
sticker sheets, emphasising on other aspects of
communication. We spoke to Daniel Fritz and Maik Stapelberg,
the magazine's editors.

Change something together, make a difference even if it is a
little difference. It is called "Smile Postcard Project 2002".
Thirty-five artists from all over the world, such as Japan,
Canada, France and Singapore, provided their works. Those
works are going to be sold as a set of postcards and 80% of
profits will be donated to volunteer organisations such as
UNICEF and Red Cross Society. Even it is hard to contribute to
volunteer activities directly, there will be somebody who
smiles by the postcards you buy. Join this heartful project.
