The History of Graphic Design. 40th Ed.

Сквозь бурное течение времени графический дизайн с его ярким синтезом образа и идеи уловил дух каждой эпохи. Окружая нас каждую минуту со всех сторон — от минималистичной упаковки до рекламных банеров, от продуманной графики окружающей среды до элегантных интерфейсов — графический дизайн в такой же степени связан с передачей информации, как и с отражением культурных устремлений и ценностей общества. Обладая обширными знаниями в этой сфере, автор Йенс Мюллер представляет это откомментированное издание с давно назревшими размышлениями о развитии креативной области, постоянно меняющейся и бросающей вызов самой себе. A Visual History of Graphic Design A comprehensive look at hundreds of graphic works Through the turbulent passage of time, graphic design—with its vivid, neat synthesis of image and idea—has distilled the spirit of each age. Surrounding us every minute of every day, from minimalist packaging to colorful adverts, smart environmental graphics to sleek interfaces: graphic design is as much about transmitting information as it is about reflecting society’s cultural aspirations and values. With his sweeping knowledge of the field, author Jens Müller curates the standout designs for each year, a running sequence of design milestones. This collection of important graphic works represents a long-overdue reflection on the development of a creative field constantly changing and challenging itself. These key pieces act as coordinates through contemporary history, helping us trace the sheer influence of graphic design on our daily lives. The author Jens Müller was born in Koblenz, Germany, in 1982 and studied graphic design. Recipient of numerous national and international design awards, he is creative director of Vista design studio in Düsseldorf and professor of corporate design at the Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts. Author and editor of several books, Müller researches the history of graphic design and corporate identity. The editor Julius Wiedemann studied graphic design and marketing and was an art editor for newspapers and design magazines in Tokyo before joining TASCHEN in 2001.
