The History of Graphic Design. Vol. 2, 1960Today

In all the turbulence of the past, graphic design has expressed the spirit of the times through vibrant and concise connections between image and idea. It is omnipresent in every second: from minimalist packaging to colorful advertising, from intelligent environmental graphics to sleek interfaces. It is about conveying information as much as reflecting cultural goals and societal values. This second volume completes the most comprehensive exploration of graphic design to date by depicting the period from the 1960s to the present. Around 2,500 groundbreaking designs from around the world guide us through recent history in this visual atlas – from the establishment of the International Style to the upheavals of the digital age. Approximately 130 key works are examined in detailed analyses.
