The Graphic Design Reader
Steven Heller
Über dieses Buch
Over forty essays on graphic design issues, as well as dozens of interviews and observations with master designers who influenced contemporary design. Driven by a lifelong love of graphic design and passion for pop culture, acclaimed art director Steven Heller delivers a provocative look at the craft of design in this highly personal collection of forty-three essays. Singling out familiar cultural icons, groundbreaking publications, influential designers, and underground movements. Heller combines candid introspection with a sweeping knowledge of the field. With approaches ranging from critical, as in an evaluation of the self-indulgent "Me Too" design of the 1980s, to laudatory, exemplified in Heller's ten-part paean to illustrator and journalist Julian Allen, this brilliantly conceived anthology flirts with irony, nostalgia, and humor as it sheds light on the designer's role in influencing pop culture.
