A trademark Charlotte & Peter Fiell title, following on from the huge success of their two previous major titles on graphic design: Graphic Design for the 21st Century and Contemporary Graphic Design, which remain 'bibles' for graphic designers and students today. Includes a foreword by Steven Heller, leading expert on contemporary graphic design and bestselling author.
Graphic Design Sourcebook surveys the visually stunning and thought-provoking work of 100 of the world's most exciting and groundbreaking practitioners.
This informative guide to contemporary graphic design showcases a wide variety of projects, from websites, apps, banner ads, packaging, and infographics to exhibition design, social-issue posters, corporate-branding campaigns, and interactive media. Every entry includes a detailed biography and a short précis of the creator’s approach, written by the designers themselves. An introduction assesses the status of graphic design in our increasingly digitized world and offers predictions of its future trajectory with the advent of advanced 3D technologies and the erosion of traditional advertising campaign conduits. Graphic Design Sourcebook is an essential guide for anyone interested in the power of visual communication, and an absolute must-have publication for students and professional practitioners alike.
