(Preface) How do we look at graphic design, and how does graphic design look back at us? Over the last century, posters have served both as utilitarian communication and as a means for design discourse. Today, as posters circulate through print and social media, they continue to spawn new visual languages. How Posters Work explores fourteen diverse principles of visual thinking-from focusing the eye and assaulting the surface to the art of telling stories.
Graphic design rallies the senses and stirs the mind, unleashing new ideas within each viewer and within a broader culture or subculture. Presenting an extraordinary selection of images from the collection of Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, How Posters Work will open the eyes of any reader-from creative professionals to fans and collectors-to the fundamental power of two-dimensional design.'
