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 from Pentagram’s branding work for Waze and Channel 4 to the cutting edge of AR technology used in YouTube Shorts and GIPHY emojis.
