Through the turbulent events of the last century-and-a-half, graphic design—with its vivid, neat synthesis of image and idea—has distilled the spirit of each age. It surrounds us every minute of the day, from minimalist packaging to colorful adverts, environmental graphics to sleek interfaces: graphic design is as much about reflecting society’s aspirations and values as it is about transmitting information.
Now published as part of our popular Basic Art series, this vibrant compendium lays out the evolution of graphic design from its inception in the 1890s up until the present day. Using his sweeping knowledge of the field, author Jens Müller has curated hundreds of examples from across the globe, arranged by decade.
Each chapter also includes thumbnails of significant movements and influential publications, plus concise biographies of design masterminds like Massimo Vignelli (New York subway wayfinding), Otl Aicher (Lufthansa identity), Paula Scher (Citibank identity), Milton Glaser (I Love New York), Louise Fili (packaging), and Stefan Sagmeister (handwritten posters).
This succinct but authoritative collection reflects on the development of a creative field that is constantly changing and challenging itself. The design classics Müller has curated act as coordinates, helping to trace the incontrovertible influence of graphic design on our daily lives. It’s both a handy primer and an informed exploration of how graphic design shapes our choices, from the products we buy and the media we consume, to how we behave and think of ourselves.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Im Laufe der turbulenten Ereignisse der letzten anderthalb Jahrhunderte hat das Grafikdesign mit seiner lebendigen, klaren Synthese aus Bild und Idee den Geist jeder Epoche eingefangen. Es umgibt uns jeden Augenblick des Tages, sei es in minimalistischen Verpackungen, farbenfrohen Werbeanzeigen, Umgebungsgrafiken oder Benutzeroberflächen: Grafikdesign spiegelt ebenso sehr die Sehnsüchte und Werte einer Gesellschaft wider wie es Informationen vermittelt.Dieses Kompendium, das als Teil unserer Reihe 'Basic Art' erschienen ist, zeichnet die Entwicklung des Grafikdesigns von seinen Anfängen in den 1890er Jahren bis heute nach. Mit seinem umfassenden Fachwissen hat der Autor Jens Müller Hunderte von Beispielen aus aller Welt zusammengetragen und nach Jahrzehnten geordnet.Jedes Kapitel enthält außerdem Einführungen zu bedeutenden Bewegungen und wichtigen Publikationen sowie kurze Biografien von Designgrößen wie Massimo Vignelli (Wegeleitsystem der New Yorker U-Bahn), Otl Aicher (Lufthansa-Identität), Paula Scher (Citibank-Identität), Milton Glaser (I Love New York), Louise Fili (Verpackungsdesign) und Stefan Sagmeister (handgeschriebene Plakate).Diese kompakte, aber maßgebliche Sammlung reflektiert die Entwicklung eines kreativen Bereichs, der sich ständig verändert und selbst herausfordert. Die von Müller kuratierten Designklassiker dienen als Koordinaten, anhand derer sich der unbestreitbare Einfluss des Grafikdesigns auf unser tägliches Leben nachvollziehen lässt. Das Buch ist sowohl eine praktische Einführung als auch eine fundierte Untersuchung darüber, wie Grafikdesign unsere Entscheidungen beeinflusst, von den Produkten, die wir kaufen, über die Medien, die wir konsumieren, bis hin zu unserem Verhalten und unserem Selbstverständnis. 96 pp. Französisch.
