Issue 59.2 offers a compelling and timely exploration of design’s evolving relationship with artificial intelligence and visual communication. Forging a bold path forward, this issue features work by authors across the University of Cincinnati, University of Leeds, and North Carolina State University—reflecting the journal’s renewed global vision. Highlights include critical studies on trusting LLM outputs through visualization and interface design, pedagogical interventions to enhance design students’ visual literacy, strategic methodologies for collaborating with AI, and forward-looking essays on the changing role of the designer in a generative AI landscape. Thoughtful reflections on AI feature design, regional typographic practices from South Asia, and editorial insights round out a volume that both challenges and inspires contemporary design scholarship.
