About this title

Synopsis

There has not been a book of this scope about graphic design and graphic design issues, as they apply to today's newspapers, for over a decade. Through in-depth, highly visual essays on the graphic evolution of some the world's most famous newspapers, this carefully complied survey examines how both technology and design have radically reshaped the look of the news over the last 15 years and continues to do so.
