Meggs' History of Graphic Design Hardcover - 2016
by Philip B. Meggs; Alston W. Purvis
From the jacket flap
Meggs' History of Graphic Design pioneered the coupling of the words "graphic design" and "history" by developing an original narrative tracing the progression of a field originating with the development of writing and heading into the digital age. That was in 1983, and now this Sixth Edition continues the gold-standard tradition of authoritative coverage for designers in the digital age.
This unrivaled, comprehensive, and award-winning reference tool on graphic design systematically reveals the complete story of visual innovators, groundbreaking technologies, and major developments leading up to the current state of the field. Updated and expanded, this robust new edition immortalizes the cutting-edge accomplishments of designers working in the digital twenty-first century and includes more than 100 brand-new illustrations to inform and inspire designers at every level of experience. More than a showcase of artwork, this inspiring reference gives you an intimate look at how industry-moving designers:
- Took advantage of the growth and increased quality of design education to rise up and find new ways of applying time-honored design theories and methods to solve new visual challenges
- Extended their profession with self-initiated fine-arts experimentation that brought a distinctive voice to the global dialogue in a era of explosive change
- Broadened their creative palette with digital technologies that offered unprecedented ways to manipulate color, form, space, and imagery and then share the expression with the world through film, television, and the Internet
Like its predecessors, Meggs' History of Graphic Design, Sixth Edition will quickly establish itself as a most-consulted volume on the bookshelves of professionals, students, and anyone who works with or loves graphic design.
