100 Ideas that Changed Graphic Design Laurence King Publishing (370125072)

100 Ideas that Changed Graphic Design is an accessible and compact book which demonstrates how ideas influenced and defined graphic design, with stunning visual examples. It is both a great source of inspiration and a provocative record of some of the best examples of graphic design from the last hundred years. The entries, arranged broadly in chronological order, range from technical (overprinting, rub-on designs, split fountain); to stylistic (swashes on caps, loud typography, and white space); to objects (dust jackets, design handbooks); and methods (paper cut-outs, pixelation). 100 Ideas that Changed Graphic Design is an inspirational book for dipping into whenever ideas are needed. A great read for graphic designers and those interested in visual communication. > "A feast for the eyes...100 Ideas is an entertaining, often insightful read." > - Geoff Hart, STC Technical Communication Journal > "The scope is broad but intelligently refined, connecting all aspects of > graphic design, from the age-old technique of text ornamentation to the > relatively nascent appearance of pixelated images and digital type." - Cool > Hunting
