The History of Graphic Design - 40 Series

Throughout the turbulent passage of time, graphic design - with its vivid, graceful synthesis of image and idea - has shaped the spirit of each age. We are surrounded by minimalist packaging, colourful advertising, smart environmental graphics and sleek interfaces: graphic design is as much about conveying information as it is about reflecting society's cultural aspirations and values.

With his extensive knowledge of the field, author Jens Müller has collected the most striking designs for each year - a running sequence of design milestones. This collection of important graphic works is a long overdue reflection on the evolution of a creative field that is constantly changing and challenging itself. These key works act as coordinates through contemporary history, helping us to trace the profound influence that graphic design has on our everyday lives.
