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!

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. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 22,305 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 187 in Graphic Design Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,044 Reviews | ## Images ![The History of Graphic Design: 45th Ed.
