100 ideas that changed graphic design
Heller, Steven2015
eBook
This book demonstrates how ideas influenced and defined graphic design, and how those ideas have manifested themselves in objects of design. The aim of this book is to determine, define, discuss, and illustrate the big ideas that created the critical mass that produced the art and craft of contemporary graphic design. The 100 entries, arranged broadly in chronological order, range from technical (overprinting, rub-on designs, split fountain); to stylistic (swashes on caps, loud typography, and white space); to objects (dust jackets, design handbooks); and methods (paper cut-outs, pixelation).
