Description
Graphic design has always expressed the spirit of the times through vivid and concise links between image and idea. It is omnipresent: from minimalist packaging to colorful advertising, from intelligent environmental graphics to lean interfaces. Graphic design not only conveys information but also reflects social values and cultural trends.

This second volume completes the most comprehensive exploration of graphic design to date, covering the period from the 1960s to the present. Around 3,500 groundbreaking designs from around the world guide us in this visual atlas through recent history - from the founding of the International Style to the upheavals of the digital age. Around 80 key works are examined in detailed analyses. In addition, there are 118 biographies of the most important designers of the time, including Massimo Vignelli (orientation system for the New York subway), Otl Aicher (corporate design of Lufthansa), Paula Scher (logo of Citibank), Neville Brody (design of The Face magazine), Kashiwa Sato (corporate design of Uniqlo) and Stefan Sagmeister (posters with handwritten texts).

With great expertise, author Jens Müller has selected the outstanding designs of each year. He also provides a timeline with milestones of the design. The chronologically ordered volume precedes each decade with a brief overview as well as a visually impressive chronological table that illustrates the diversity of graphic work in each decade and at the same time describes its significance for the world.
