Graphic Design Before Graphic Designers by
A comprehensive retellingof the history of printingfrom 1700 to 1914 and acornucopia of visual andtechnical extravagance Who first coined the phrase "graphic design," a term dating from the 1920s,or first referred to themselves as a "graphic designer" are issues still arguedto this day. What is certain is that the kinds of printed material a graphicdesigner could create were around long before the formulation of such aconvenient, if sometimes troublesome, term.Here David Jury explores how the "jobbing" printer who producedhandbills, posters, catalogues, advertisements, and labels in the eighteenth,nineteenth, and early twentieth centuries was the true progenitor of graphicdesign, rather than the "noble presses" of the Arts and Crafts movement.Based on original research and aided by a wealth of delightful and fullycaptioned examples that reveal the extraordinary skill, craft, design sense,and intelligence of those who created them, the book charts the evolution of"print" into "graphic design." It will be of lasting interest to graphic designers,design and social historians, and collectors of print and printed ephemera alike.

The Story of Graphic Design by
This comprehensive illustrated history begins with the origins of the alphabet itself and carries the reader through the first handwritten books, the invention of printing in the Renaissance, the explosion of graphic styles (and printed media) in the 19th and 20th centuries, and the impact of digital technology on design today. Like E.H. Gombrich's magnificent Story of Art, The Story of Graphic Design is a compelling narrative that explores the evolution of styles under the pressure of social, cultural, and technological change, accompanied by a comprehensive selection of illustrations of key works in typography and design since the invention of writing. It covers a remarkable number of topics, from the art of the medieval manuscript to the birth of advertising to the workings of modern mass media. Unlike all other historians of design, Patrick Cramsie is able to bring a designer's eye to the analysis of visual communication. The Story of Graphic Design is an indispensible book for designers, historians, and students, and will find a wide readership among people who are interested in the visual arts or concerned about the future of the printed word.
