Through the turbulent passage of time, graphic design―with its vivid, neat synthesis of image and idea―has distilled the spirit of each age. Surrounding us every minute of every day, from minimalist packaging to colorful adverts, smart environmental graphics to sleek interfaces: graphic design is as much about transmitting information as it is about reflecting society’s cultural aspirations and values. With his sweeping knowledge of the field, author Jens Müller curates the standout designs for each year, a running sequence of design milestones. This collection of important graphic works represents a long-overdue reflection on the development of a creative field constantly changing and challenging itself. These key pieces act as coordinates through contemporary history, helping us trace the sheer influence of graphic design on our daily lives. About the series TASCHEN is 40! Since we started our work as cultural archaeologists in 1980, TASCHEN has become synonymous with accessible publishing, helping bookworms around the world curate their own library of art, anthropology, and aphrodisia at an unbeatable price. Today we celebrate 40 years of incredible books by staying true to our company credo. The 40 series presents new editions of some of the stars of our program―now more compact, friendly in price, and still realized with the same commitment to impeccable production. Review: Graphic Design Inspo - Educational and great for inspiration. Review: A treasure trove of graphic design from past and present! - I really love this book! It has all the high quality you would expect from Taschen and each page is full of an interesting assortment (some weird and wonderful too) of graphic design from the past 100 years from all fields of media. Full of colour and detail and many of the entries contain short descriptions. The book also has decade summaries and several pages on noted designers and artists (even art schools, typefaces, etc) that contributed significantly to the world of graphical media and design. A great book of inspiration for me as an aspiring graphic designer and just a lovely well-made and pleasing on the eye book to just pick up and browse at your leisure.

Excellent book, wish it was bigger
Should have read the description more carefully as the book was smaller in format than expected. A shame really as it is a very useful book for anyone with a passing interest in graphic design or the more involved student or professional. Quality binding and hundreds of images. Interesting to see the emergence and development of various styles through the ages, and the quality of the work. Every graphic device and medium is featured making it a great reference. As with much art, we are standing on the shoulders of giants that want before us.

Książka uszkodzona
Zamówiłam książkę, której potrzebuję do nauki, zależy mi więc na czasie i nie mogę jej teraz zwrócić - ale niestety przyszła do mnie uszkodzona. Nie wiem, czy Amazon nie dba o pakowanie produktów, czy jest to wina dostarczycieli, ale nie jest to już pierwszy raz! Zazwyczaj zamawiam książki o designie, zależy mi więc na idealnej jakości, co tutaj się nie sprawdza. :/ Słabo.

A stunning and comprehensive book on graphic design
I bought this book as a gift for myself and I am very pleased with it. It is a beautiful hardcover edition, with a glossy dust jacket and high-quality paper. The book covers the history of graphic design from the origins of writing to the present day, with chapters on typography, printing, advertising, posters, logos, digital media, and more. It is is full of illustrations, examples, and case studies that showcase the diversity and creativity of graphic design. The book is a must-have for anyone interested in graphic design, whether as a student, a professional, or a hobbyist. It is a great reference and a source of inspiration. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves graphic design.
