(Preface) 'This is a comprehensive guide to the international development of graphic design. From pre-industrial printing presses and medieval typography to computer graphics and avant-garde stylistic developments, a wealth of entries elucidate technical terms and detail movements, media, advertising, corporate identity, posters, packaging, magazine and book design - placing graphic design in the wider context of the history of fine art and illustration. The personalities, motivations and achievements of all the most innovatory figures in the field are fully outlined - including the leading exponents of contemporary graphic design. The 445 illustrations give a stunning visual record, while the text incorporates extensive cross-referencing, full bibliography and a chronological chart outlining the relationship between movements, technology and designers. This is an indispensable reference work for students and designers, and will fascinate anyone interested in the interaction of word and image and the communication of ideas.'
