"This new look at the history of graphic design explores its evolution from the late nineteenth century to the present day. Organized chronologically, the book illuminates the relationship between design and manufacturing, as well as the influence of technology, social change, and commercial forces on the course of design history. The layout of each chapter reflects the style of the period it describes, and more than 470 illustrations throughout the volume provide a visual record of over one hundred years of creative achievement in the field."--Jacket
