Synopsis
An Essential Collection of Essays and Musings on Graphic Design from One of the Field's Leading Educators
In this wide-ranging compilation, art director, writer, and lecturer Steven Heller shares his passion for graphic design with readers, whom he invites to consider that design can be discerned in all things natural and manmade.

- The role of design in politics
- Visual culture and the social impact of design
- Key moments in the history of typography
- Technological innovations
- The power of branding and logos
- Ethical considerations and dilemmas
