Synopsis

New in the 100 Ideas that Changed... series, this book demonstrates how ideas influenced and defined graphic design, and how those ideas have manifested themselves in objects of 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). Written by one of the world's leading authorities on graphic design and lavishly illustrated, the book is both a great source of inspiration and a provocative record of some of the best examples of graphic design from the last hundred years. Also part of the series: 100 Ideas That Changed Architecture (Sep 2011), 100 Ideas That Changed Fashion (Sep 2011) Upcoming titles: 100 Ideas That Changed Film (Spr 2012), 100 Ideas That Changed Art (Aut 2012), 100 Ideas That Changed Photography (Aut 2012)

Media Reviews
FROM COOL HUNTING: The scope is broad but intelligently refined, connecting all aspects of graphic design, from the age-old technique of text ornamentation to the relatively nascent appearance of pixelated images and digital type.
. ..a feast for the eyes...As a survey of the many changes in graphic design and the dialogs between competing schools of thought, 100 Ideas is an entertaining, often insightful read. Geoff Hart, STC Technical Communication Journal
