Product Description

Product Description
This critical study of graphic design and typography is a source for anyone interested in the art and history of books, letterforms, symbols, advertising, and theories of visual and verbal communication. A section on theory considers the centrality of the written and printed word to post-structuralism and deconstruction. A wide range of design practices are discussed, from the history of punctuation and the origins of international pictograms to the structure of modern typography. A section on media looks at the role of design in mass communications with essays on stock photography, visual journalism, illustration, advertising and vernacular design cultures. The book closes with history, a section organised as a time line spanning 200 years of design in America. These historical case studies show how the modern profession of graphic design emerged in response to cultural, political and economic developments in the US.

5.0 out of 5 stars a MUST HAVE for serious/critical designers, 22 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This is NOT your average 'pretty pictures' book about design. It is a critical analisys/discourse on current design theory. Covers all aspects of writing, from the origins of - to the politics of, and beyond. An excellent reference for serious typographers, and a mind-expanding read for anyone interested in visual communication. The book itself is also gem, nice format & size - it would have to be given the content. I would not hesitate to list it as a must have for All designers in visual communication/information architecture.

5.0 out of 5 stars probably the best book ever written about graphic design, 27 Nov 2001
As a college student I have found this book to be a remarkable collection of thoughts and essays on the subject of graphic design. Covering a wide variety of topics from ancient Greek boustrophedon to Deconstruction and modern pictography it is a helpful, informative and enjoyable read. Ellen Lupton 'knows her stuff' and provides an insightful journy through the world of graphic design. Whether you're a fellow student, design enthusiast or avid reader you should read this book. You won't regret it.
