Synopsis:

The story of graphic design is one of the most exciting and most important in the history of 20th-century visual culture. Created to inform, identify and promote, graphic design has evolved from its roots in the development of printing to become a profession and a discipline in its own right. This documentary history encompasses a vast range of media: printed posters; brochures and magazines; film, television and video; corporate identity. Reproduction techniques are fully treated, including lithography, photomontage, airbrushing, photography and computer-generated images.

Review: 'Essential and affordable reading for students, designers and historians... considered, well-informed and imaginative' - The Eye 'The best introduction [to the subject] yet written' - i-D
