About the Author:
Patrick Cramsie is a graphic designer whose work has centered on corporate identity and book design. It was while reviewing books for the Times Literary Supplement in London that he felt the need to have a comprehensive history of graphic design that also served as a introduction to the subject. He lives and works in Herefordshire, England.

Peter Saville "Mr. Cramsie's insightful focus on the frequently overlooked analysis of specific formal properties...sets this book apart from other design histories and makes it a valuable resource for students and professionals" William Longhauser, Graphic Designer, Professor, and Director of the Outside Institute
