Visible Language is looking for submissions for an issue to include student articles on research into digital, graphic and typographic design. In particular, we welcome submissions and using methods that can be broadly categorised as either collections-based approaches or participant studies. The objective of the special issue is to allow students to experience the publication process. The research might be on a smaller scale than would normally be published. Accordingly, studies may involve smaller numbers of artefacts or participants, as appropriate to an exploratory study.

In line with the aims of the journal, we wish to actively support emerging scholars and therefore encourage supervisors/tutors to be involved in the publication process with joint authorship where appropriate. Following the practices of the journal, we are willing to liaise with authors to advise on what is suitable for submission, make suggestions, and provide feedback. Please contact our Associate Editor, Dr Jeanne-Louise Moys (j.l.moys@leeds.ac.uk) or our Editorial Manager, Dr Matthew Baxter (m.g.baxter@leeds.ac.uk) well in advance of the deadline, 3 September 2025.
