It covers a huge range of material historic titles from pioneering type foundries to the best of recent monographs from today's leading studios and provides a unique insight into the evolution of graphic design in the twentieth century. Classic graphic design manuals by Laszlo Moholy-Nagy and Josef Muller-Brockmann are included, alongside pioneering instructional titles on advertising and the impact of the avante-garde. Monographs designed by and covering the major individuals and studios of the era from A.M. Cassandre and Alexey Brodovitch to Stefan Sagmeister and Peter Saville are detailed, along with groundbreaking anthologies on trademark design, Polish film posters, corporate identity and more.
