(Preface) 'Graphic design has been referred to as 'the perfect marriage between art and industry yet designers and art historians continue to argue over where to draw its boundaries. A hotch-potch of influences and disciplines, it incorporates the areas of typographic, editorial and book design, information, advertising and promotion graphics, corporate identity and packaging, retail and exhibition design, tv, film and computer graphics.
The Graphic Design Source Book sets out to chart these elements. By means of succinct text, illuminating captions and an exceptional collection of photographs, the book explores the influences, the inspirations, the personalities and the cross-currents of cultural, artistic and social change that have defined graphic design since the turn of the century.
Within seven chapters, the essential style of each period is captured, decade by decade, around the world. From the era of William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement at the end of the nineteenth century, to the kaleidoscope of imagery in today's media explosion, the Graphic Design Source Book paints a vivid scenario of the moving spirit of the times.'
