This matchless volume is the first to record the milestones of graphic design, from its beginnings as a viable art and craft to its most sophisticated, present-day accomplishments.
Complete with numerous illustrations, this is an ideal desk reference, providing answers to endless historical questions such as when a style or technology was invented, when a designer was born or died, when an influential work was created, when a movement began, and when a school was founded. Two-page spreads are devoted to each year of the century, from 1900 to 2000. 75 B&W Illustrations
