(Publishers review/translation) 'Graphic design timeline in Brazil is the most comprehensive survey ever carried out on the activity in the country. Two centuries of production, ranging from the beginning of the 19th century to the end of the 20th century, span 744 pages in more than 1600 color images, in a delicious visual testimony of the history of Brazil in this period, capable of awakening the memories of very varied audiences.
Organized by Chico Homem de Melo, who is responsible for texts and comments, and by Elaine Ramos, responsible for the graphic design, the project involved three years of research mapping books, magazines, newspapers, signs, posters, records, postage stamps and banknotes.
The result is surprising and brings countless discoveries and rediscoveries, such as the covers of the Pernambuco magazine P'ra Você, the busy pages of the tabloid Raposa, the fantastic collection of Museus do Mundo books or the powerful production of designers such as Fred Jordan and Fernando Lemos. The book, which definitively places Brazil in the global graphic design panorama, becomes a mandatory reference for researchers, students and design, visual arts and advertising professionals, and is also a fascinating record of Brazilian visual culture.'
