I was first drawn to this title because of the cover, which is really striking. It's a fantastic looking book with content to match!
This book sets the standard for useful graphic design books. Rather than bombarding you with fashionable names and faddy images the author explains the birth and growth of graphic design, allowing me to consider current trends in a broader context. The case studies are gripping, with some of the most long-standing and respected names in the industry recounting their work and experiences in the industry. These examples are tidily tied into a timeline of 1945-69 showing world and cultural events. This book takes the history of graphic design out of its `bubble', setting contemporary work in an expansive and broad landscape. Looking at such a vast catalogue of designers was excellent for project work during studying, while also, on a personal level, being truly inspirational.
