A 1979 article by design educator Sharon Poggenpohl in Visible Language, whose title points to the gap between design practice and design theory. Its specific arguments could not be verified, as no accessible copy of the text was found.
This is a 1979 article by Sharon Poggenpohl, "A Practice in Search of Theory," published in Visible Language, a journal dedicated to research on communication design and typography (originally founded as The Journal of Typographic Research). Poggenpohl went on to a long career as a design educator, later serving as editor of Visible Language itself, and became known as a proponent of human-centred, collaborative, interdisciplinary design research; the title suggests the article addresses the gap, a recurring concern in her later work, between design as a practiced craft and the lack of a developed theoretical or research base to underpin it.
