Jay Rosen is my favorite author on the subject:
Jeff Jarvis is nothing to shake a stick at either:
And finally, we can't forget Clay Shirky:

Corporate identities are typically grid based, so if you haven't read it already Timothy Samara's Making and Breaking the Grid may be useful.
It's likely you'll be restricted to an already existing brand, so probably no need to learn more about corporate branding. Your challenges will be staying fresh and inspired within a limited structure, typeface and color palette.
If they require you to work on corporate presentations, Duarte's Slideology is a must-read.
If it involves data visualization for annual reports and such, Alberto Cairo's The Functional Art will be very relevant.
Hope that helps.
OK so this is a really simple thing, but if you plan on teaching with PowerPoints behind you, I really recommend this book called "slide:ology: The Art and Science of Creating Great Presentations."
As the title suggests, it's a handbook of visual guides for creating better PowerPoint presentations. It's mostly visual hierarchy and other Gestalt basics, but I found it super useful for making presentations that were actually useful for the students as opposed to just being there. It was recommended to me about eight years ago by my mentor, and I've been following what it says ever since.
If you haven't read it yet, you might also be interested in slideology, because it is specific to presentations.
Alla base c'è sempre la pigrizia (o la mancanza di tempo). Lo strumento che accompagna una presentazione (sia in presenza, sia online) dovrebbe servire a tenere desta l'attenzione di chi ascolta e ad appoggiare il discorso, non sostituirsi ad esso. La gente è lì per ascoltare, non per leggere.
Se poi è necessario trasmettere informazioni scritte dettagliate, allora si preparano delle fotocopie da distribuire (meglio alla fine, altrimenti tutti si mettono a leggere durante la presentazione) con tutto il testo che si vuole.
Nella mia esperienza, spessissimo i relatori mescolano i due supporti e creano slide fitte di testo, per lo più illeggibili dai posti più lontani della sala. I peggiori leggono quello che viene proiettato, commettendo un doppio errore: di solito danno le spalle al pubblico (per leggere) e, ovviamente, vanno più lenti della platea, che sta leggendo a mente, quindi annoiano.
L'argomento comunque è sviscerato su mille siti e libri. Io ho trovato molto utile il testo www.amazon.com/gp/product/0596522347
