520 1 $a"The Story of Graphic Design is narrative history at its best. In it, historian and designer Patrick Cramsie tells us how, over the course of centuries, the Western world has deployed the written word to communicate ideas---first in manuscripts and books, and then in increasingly proliferating forms: maps, advertisements, newspapers, posters, and now computer screens. This is above all a story of creative achievement: from the anonymous letterer of Trajan's Column in ancient Rome to Paul Rand, master of the corporate logo, the designers who have shaped the way we experience the written word come alive in these pages. Cramsie's readable and comprehensive text is accompanied by hundreds of well-chosen illustrations" "This comprehensive illustrated history begins with the origins of the alphabet itself and carries the reader from the earliest forms of writing to the invention of printing during the Renaissance, the explosion of graphic styles (and printed media) in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and the impact of digital technology on design today." "Like E.H. Gombrich's magnificent Story of Art, The Story of Graphic Design is a compelling narrative that explores the evolution of styles under the pressure of social, cultural, and technological change, accompanied by a comprehensive selection of illustrations of key works in typography and design since the invention of writing. It touches on a remarkable number of important topics in history and culture, from the art of the medieval manuscript to the birth of advertising to the workings of modern mass media. Unlike other historians of design, Patrick Cramsie is able to bring a designer's eye to the analysis of visual communication and to explain how styles in graphic design developed and why they look the way they do."--BOOK JACKET.
