Graphic Design: A Concise History

This books starts from ancient style of visually communicating advertisements and then further adding on how graphic design transformed into perfection but yet the motive remained the same.I myself is a budding graphic designer, so this book really helped my concepts in a correct perspective.

Must for any designers

Ho adottato questo libro per un esame universitario in lingua inglese, (livello C), con l'intenzione di esporre in modo approfondito l'argomento in questione, la storia del design, avvalendomi di una terminologia specifica – anche parecchio tecnica – mantenendo l'interesse alto. Così è stato. Il libro è un ottimo supporto allo studio della storia delle arti visuali, in particolare del graphic design. Consigliato, inoltre, a chiunque abbia interesse per la materia e nutra l'intenzione di appagare la propria curiosità, (aggiungendo l'elemento difficoltà che funga da giusta "challenge": l'inglese d'altro registro).

All the books from this Thames and Hudson's collection are a great investment. For this in particular, the only thing I would like to see was more bigger colour images. Nevertheless the content is very comprehensive.

I checked this book out in my university library to help with some essays and then decided to purchase as its such a good resource. It is an informative, well-designed book with plenty of relevant imagery as illustrations. I've used it as resource in many essays since I bought it and was pleased at how low the price was for such a great read.
