(Preface) 'Each book in this series presents the work of four of the most creative graphic artists or design teams of our time. Their art is seen almost daily on television, in newspapers and magazines, on signboards, and in buses, trains, and subways. In addition to reproducing their characteristic creations magazine covers, posters, package designs, trade- marks, logotypes, record sleeves, book jackets, cartoons, caricatures, environments, television commercials, promotion pieces, and newspaper and magazine advertisements every volume includes a short biography and a personal statement by each of the artists about his own work or about the aesthetics and functions of graphic design. Never before has so large or so representative a collection of these artists- in color as well as in black-and-white been available in book form.
Four of the volumes deal with graphic designers in the U.S.A., four with graphic designers in Europe. Since they show not only a cross-section of the best work that has been created during the last decade, but also significant changes in style and approach, the books will be invaluable for students of art, publicity and advertising writers and designers, other commercial artists, and art lovers who want to become better acquainted with the ideas and methods of today's finest graphic designers.'
