Brilliant book, in a class all of its own. As opposed to most publications on graphic design history, it's not satisfied to be just a pretty picture book, but it offers mountains of relevant contextual insight, put in perspective within contemporary theory and worded for optimum comprehension. Priceless.
Why is this book so poorly designed? The pages were cut off by random writing, making continuous reading such a pain.
This was actually an e-book file and I'm comparing it to the Graphic Style New edition sadly... and this text book was boring and sucked. It was okay, if I just wanted information about Graphic Design History - but if I wanted to be inspired and get ideas on other designs... this lacked images.
had to use this book as my textbook for my History of Graphic Design class. Really gave detailed info on each of the eras and changes in graphic design from the start to now. Definitely a good read!
This book was required for my History of Communication and Design class at school, overall good. The book had more information than my teacher did so thumbs up on that one!
