Graphic: 500 Designs that Matter

Conceived and edited by Phaidon Editors

Five hundred of the most iconic graphic designs of all time, from the beginnings of mechanical reproduction to the presentThe process of visual communication and problem-solving through the use of typography, space, image, and colour informs the way we connect across languages and cultures. Compiled and written by a global team of experts, this book is international in its scope and appeal.. Derived from the acclaimed Phaidon Archive of Graphic Design, this fascinating compendium celebrates the long, rich history of graphic design, from the first sample of movable type and the Nuremberg Chronicle of the fifteenth century to the cutting-edge magazines, posters, and ephemera of today

An appropriately minimalist and visually satisfying approach sees each example presented as a single, full-page illustration."—Asos"Admire Beatles album covers and I Heart NY posters."—Stylist"Bad Graphic design. A bold red brick of a book, it's an international celebration of the most brilliant, creative and thought-provoking designs since the art began. They're all just so BIG and you'll never read them in case moving them should cause injury. BUT Graphic: 500 Designs that Matter is rather petite in comparison. Sigh. And guess what? You can perch it neatly on the top of your stack, like the peak of a literary pyramid."—EmeraldStreet
