(Preface) 'Issues – Design does not take place in a vacuum. This book starts by exploring all the issues that shape design: economics; ethics; technology; theory and developments in the other arts. It looks at how design has evolved over the centuries - from its origins in mediaeval Germany to today when it includes areas such as corporate branding, magazines, television titles and websites.
Anatomy – What is Graphic Design? breaks the discipline down into its elements, looking at typography, how text and pictures combine - the essence of graphic design - and how the process of reproduction underpins every aspect of design.
Portfolios – There is no single ideal for how a designer should be: a designer can practise alone or be part of a large group; a designer can also write, edit, curate, take photographs, design typefaces and be an entrepreneur. This book concludes with an analysis of a diverse group of young designers who illustrate just how broad and rich the profession can be.'
