More than five centuries of history The major trends, the great creators, the great techniques Books, press, posters, logos, signage, typography... More than 250 illustrations Numerous educational and practical resources This book succeeds in the ambitious challenge of presenting the essentials of Western graphic culture over more than five centuries! From the discovery of the printing process by Gutenberg in the 15th century to the work carried out in DTP by the greatest contemporary creators, from the art of printmaking to the evolution of the press, from Art Nouveau posters to those of psychedelics: the author draws up a panorama, which does not claim to be exhaustive but which is infinitely representative, of the history of printing and graphic design.
Treated with pedagogy and clarity, the subject is presented chronologically, but also by following themes: major artistic movements, political influence, technological innovations, etc. A fascinating dive into the teeming world of graphic design!
