Must have reference book for graphic designers

In my opinion, this 3rd Edition "A History of GD" is the best reference book written about graphic design. This 500 plus pages book/bible is simply divided into 5 sections, 1) The Prologue to Graphic Design, 2) A Graphic Rennaissance, 3) The Industrial Revolution, 4)The Modernist Era, and 5) The Age of Information. The topics range from the invention of writing to, creation of new typogrphic styles to, the digital revolution and computer art. There are plenty of graphics and photos on every page to accompany the wonderfully written text. If you study art history or graphic design, I think this would be a great reference book to have. It will take some time to read the entire book. But this is like a text book, so, reading only part of the chapters would be quite informative as well. Once you are done, you will definitely appreciate graphic design/graphic designers.

What a great book !

I am a graphic design student, and this book was assigned for one of my classes. The History of Graphic Design, is such am amazing book. I find myself flipping through the pages for fun! You could read it over and over again, and always learn something new. This is a very thick book, full of vibrant pictures, and great for gathering your own ideas ! If you could only buy one book on the history of graphci design, this should be that book !

I would like to see a book that doesn't

It is an old book. It gives you facts on the history of g.d. with an unappealing tone. Given the heavy amount of cultural influences throughout g.d.'s history, I would like to see a book that doesn't... sound the way this book does.The author actually included how difficult it was to decide what contents to include and whose names to include and which works to include given the limited number of pages. Yet, I found a lot of fluff that continued persistently.I would not recommend it.

A helpful guide to graphic design history

Excellent and helpful even though its an older addition, it was still a great book to have for my History of graphic design class. It covers all the major events in Graphic Design history with many examples.

Terrible Resolution

I purchased this for the kindle app on the iPad and was extremely disappointed in the sample images that are included throughout the ebook. They're low resolution, the image where timeline is showed, the text is barely readable.
