Graphic designers create a significant part of our everyday world: books, magazines, websites, logos, posters, packaging, infographics, road signs, mobile applications, and graphics for film and television. Such significant people are the subject of this book.
John Clifford has compiled a visual encyclopedia of iconic names of graphic design, accompanying it with really rich illustrative material from outstanding examples of design thought, including world-famous posters, advertisements, logos, typographic fonts, book and magazine covers and so on. The author has grouped his list of the most influential graphic designers chronologically into four broad time periods and thus illuminated the history of graphic design development, from the Art Nouveau era, Toulouse-Lautrec and Aubrey Beardsley to the digital age, the creators of Levis's jeans logos, Esquire magazine covers. El Lissitzky and such famous graphic works as "Beat the Whites with a Red Wedge", Alexander Rodchenko, the pioneer of photomontage, A.M. Cassandre, who created new typefaces, Alvin Lustig, who revolutionized the design of book covers - each of them made a significant contribution to the formation of modern graphic design. The book will become a board book for aspiring graphic designers looking for inspiration. An ideal gift for established designers.
