Synopsis

"In the Preface to the First Edition of A History of Graphic Design, Philip Meggs writes, "When we attempt to record the accomplishments of the past, we do so from the vantage point of our own time. History becomes a reflection of the needs, sensibilities, and attitudes of the chronicler's time as surely as it represents the accomplishments of bygone eras." Meggs' First Edition not only created an outline of graphic design history, it defined the discipline as an area of study with a claim to its own history. While graphic design history as an academic discipline is still in its adolescence, the work of graphic design in the 21st century encompasses artifacts, experiences, frameworks, processes, data, and more. In today's age of digital tools and platforms, the study of graphic design history exposes students to a pluralistic range of historical and contemporary design solutions. For students and practicing designers, learning graphic design history is relevant as a model for present and future design practice, a shared history of graphic design that points to the future of the discipline"-- Provided by publisher.
