Synopsis

Graphic Design, Referenced is a visual and informational guide to the most commonly referenced terms, historical moments, landmark projects, and influential practitioners in the field of graphic design. With more than 2,000 design projects illustrating more than 400 entries, it provides an intense overview of the varied elements that make up the graphic design profession through a unique set of chapters: "principles" defines the basic foundation of what constitutes graphic design; "knowledge" explores the most influential sources through which we learn about graphic design; "representatives" gathers the most prominent designers who have steered the course of graphic design in one way or another; and "practice" highlights some of the most iconic work produced that serve as examples of best practices and illustrate its potential lasting legacy.
