A History of Graphic Design 3rd Edition by Philip B. Meggs (Author) After a decade of research by the author, A History of Graphic Design was heralded as a publishing landmark by the Association of American Publishers, who awarded it a coveted award for publishing excellence. Now, after fifteen years of development in graphic design, this expanded and updated Third Edition includes hundreds of full-color images and new material in many areas, including alphabets, Japanese and Dutch graphics, and the computer revolution which has impacted all aspects of contemporary design and communications. With its approximately 1,200 illustrations, lucid text, and interpretive captions, the book reveals a saga of creative innovators, breakthrough technologies, and important design innovations. Graphic design is a vital component of each culture and period in human history, and in this account, an extraordinary panorama of people and events unfolds, including: The Invention of Writing and Alphabets Medieval Manuscript Books The Origins of Printing and Typography Renaissance Graphic Design The Arts and Crafts Movement Victorian and Art Nouveau Graphics Modern Art and Its Impact on Design Visual Identity and Conceptual Images Postmodern Design The Computer Graphics Revolution A History of Graphic Design is recognized as a seminal work; this Third Edition surpasses in detail and breadth the content, design, and color reproduction of previous editions. It is required reading for professionals, students, and everyone who works with or loves the world of graphic design. This comprehensive reference tool is an invaluable visual survey that you will turn to again and again. “I expect it to become a foundation and keystone of serious study …it is a fortress work.” -Communication Arts “Now …a hefty, yet concise, documentation of the entire field exists.” -Print “A significant attempt at a comprehensive history of graphic design …it will be an eye-opener not only for general readers, but for designers who have been unaware of their legacy.” -The New York Times Graphic design is a vital component of each culture and period in human history, and in this account, an extraordinary panorama of people and events unfolds, including: – The Invention of Writing and Alphabets – Medieval Manuscript Books – The Origins of Printing and Typography – Renaissance Graphic Design – The Arts and Crafts Movement – Victorian and Art Nouveau Graphics – Modern Art and Its Impact on Design – Visual Identity and Conceptual Images – Postmodern Design – The Computer Graphics Revolution A History of Graphic Design is recognized as a seminal work; this Third Edition surpasses in detail and breadth the content, design, and color reproduction of previous editions. It is required reading for professionals, students, and everyone who works with or loves the world of graphic design. This comprehensive reference tool is an invaluable visual survey that you will turn to again and again. Hardcover: 528 pages In my opinion, this 3rd Edition “A History of GD” is the best reference book written about graphic design. This 500 plus pages book/bible is simply divided into 5 sections, 1) The Prologue to Graphic Design, 2) A Graphic Rennaissance, 3) The Industrial Revolution, 4)The Modernist Era, and 5) The Age of Information. The topics range from the invention of writing to, creation of new typogrphic styles to, the digital revolution and computer art. There are plenty of graphics and photos on every page to accompany the wonderfully written text. If you study art history or graphic design, I think this would be a great reference book to have. It will take some time to read the entire book. But this is like a text book, so, reading only part of the chapters would be quite informative as well. Once you are done, you will definitely appreciate graphic design/graphic designers. This book is a must have if you are taking any graphic design courses. If you are already a graphic designer this book is also a must have. My class is long over and I wont sell this book, that says something considering I am a starving student, well maybe not starving. I bought this for a class and I ended up reading it just because the information presented is both interesting and also very digestible to the average reader. It is a very interesting book that you can keep long after the class is over. One thing is it makes a fantastic coffee table book. It would not be out of place in the lobby of your design firm. 0-471-29198-6 Book is in near mint condition.All sales will be shipped securely! If you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate!
