背景／Background
文字作为记录和传达语言的符号载体，在人类文明进程中发挥着巨大的影响，是人类文明的重要象征，传承着各民族的悠久历史文化。在不断追求文明的漫长历程中，人们持续不懈的探索着文字的表现形式，文字呈现出了丰富多元的表达形式。
在步入科技信息高速发展的新时代，人们的生活节奏变得愈发快速，传统文字阅读的那种凝思状态被改变，逐渐受到快餐式阅读的冲击，视觉文化成为当今文化的主流，追求文字的视觉化表现已成为当前文字所面临的重要课题。
文字已不再仅仅是声音语言的符号载体，更是声音语言与视觉语言的集合体，对信息的传播不再局限于依赖声音语言的阅读，视觉化的阅读方式已然成为当今文化的主流。通过文字的视觉化设计，强化文字的视觉表现张力及传播力，吸引人们以视听结合的方式进行信息的阅读。
字酷展／Coolwords
这是一个邀请字体研究者和平面设计师与艺术院校优秀学生的联合作品展览，将创意和实践统和在一起，具有原创性、实验性和启发价值，力求给于设计师和设计院校的学生在教学方面给予较大的帮助和提高。2016 年开始在南京艺术学院已连续举办了两届“字酷”文字艺术设计展, 并取得了很大的成功,形成了良好的影响,成为文字艺术设计活动中的一道风景线。
