Neu -Geschichte ist eine komplexe Angelegenheit. Vermögen wachsen und schrumpfen, Imperien kommen und gehen, und der gesellschaftliche, politische und technische Wandel hat seine Gewinner und Verlierer, Fürsprecher und Gegner. Doch durch all die turbulenten Zeitläufte hindurch hat das Grafikdesign - mit seiner anschaulichen, sauberen Synthese von Bild und Idee - stets den Geist einer jeden Epoche auf den Punkt gebracht. Diese umfassende Geschichte des Grafikdesigns, rekapituliert 70 Jahre kreativen Schaffens, vom 19. Jahrhundert bis zum Wirtschaftswunder. Die Entwicklung der kreativen Branche wird von ihren Anfängen in der Plakatgestaltung über die Werbung, Corporate Identity, Verpackung und Editorial Design nachgezeichnet. Chronologisch angeordnet, stellt das Buch über 2.500 wegweisende grafische Arbeiten aus aller Welt vor, von denen 71 im Detail vorgestellt werden, ebenso wie 61 der innovativen Köpfe dahinter - unter ihnen Alfons Mucha (Jugendstil-Plakate), Edward Johnston (Erscheinungsbild der Londoner U-Bahn), El Lissitzky (konstruktivistische Grafiken), Herbert Matter (Plakate mit colorierten Fotomontagen), Saul Bass (animierte Filmvorspanne) und A. M. Cassandre (Art déco Plakate). Visuelle Zeitachsen fassen zu Beginn jeder Dekade Entwicklungen in Grafik und Gesellschaft zusammen. In den Kapiteln kuratiert Jens Müller dann neben gestalterischen Meilensteinen der einzelnen Jahre Themen wie »Plakate aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg« oder »Humor in der Grafik«. Während David Jury in einem einleitenden Essay die Wurzeln der Profession untersucht und auf die Entwicklung des Druckwesens blickt. Ein Nachschlagewerk zur Genese und Gegenwart des Kommunikationsdesigns mit enzyklopädischem Anspruch. (Text dt., engl., franz.) 480 pp. Deutsch, Englisch, Französisch

Hardcover. History is a complex business. Fortunes boom and bust, empires wax and wane, and change-whether social, political, or technological-has its winners, its losers, its advocates, and its enemies. Through all the turbulent passage of time, graphic design-with its vivid, neat synthesis of image and idea-has distilled the spirit of each age. This book is an in-depth history of graphic design from the end of the 19th century to the '50s. It traces the evolution of this creative field from its beginning as poster design to its further development into advertising, corporate identity, packaging, and editorial design. Organized chronologically, the volume features over 2,500 seminal designs from all over the world, 71 of which are profiled in detail besides 61 leaders in the field, including Alphonse Mucha (chocolate advertisements), Edward Johnston (London Underground logo and typeface), El Lissitzky (constructivist graphics), Herbert Matter (photomontage travel posters from Switzerland), Saul Bass (animated opening titles), and A. M. Cassandre (art deco posters).Author Jens Mueller curates the standout designs for each year alongside a running sequence of design milestones. Meanwhile, in his introductory essay, David Jury situates graphic design from its point of origin in early printing, engraving, and lithography to striking creative developments in the 19th century. Each consecutive decade is then prefaced by a succinct overview as well as a visual timeline, offering a vivid display of the variety of graphic production in each decade as well as the global landscape which it at once described and defined. As we move on from and reflect upon the 20th century, this first volume examines the foundations of what would influence some of the fastest-changing creative fields. Combined with Volume Two-which spans from the 1960s until today-the tomes offer the most comprehensive exploration of graphic design to date and a long-overdue recognition of its enormous contribution to economics, politics, social causes, the arts, media, and the way we see the world. In this mighty first volume, Jens Mueller traces 70 years of graphic design, designers, and developments from the late 19th century through the economic boom after World War II, spanning designs that would form the basis for further revolutions.
