Summary
  • Volume 1. "In this mighty first volume, Jens Müller traces 70 years of graphic design, designers, and developments from the late 19th century through the economic boom after World War II, spanning designs that would form the basis for further revolutions. Year-by-year spreads are combined with in-depth features on hundreds of landmark projects, profiles of industry leaders, as well as visual timelines of each decade."--Publisher's description.
  • Volume 2. "This second volume rounds off the most comprehensive exploration of graphic design to date. Some 3,000 seminal designs from around the globe guide us in a visual map through contemporary history, from the establishment of the International Style to the rise of the groundbreaking digital age. Around 80 key examples go under the microscope in detailed analyses, supported by 118 biographies of the era's most important designs, including Massimo Vignelli, Otl Aicher, Shin Matsunaga, Paula Scher, Neville Brody, and Stefan Sagmeister."--Publisher's description (dust jacket).
