One fateful rainy day, a bored kid asks his grandfather \"what in the world is graphic design?\" Starting with that innocent question, A History of Graphic Design for Rainy Days takes its readers on a charmingly illustrated and cleverly revealing whirlwind tour through this creative discipline’s milestone developments, personalities, and technologies. With its engaging design, humorous narratives, and fun-filled exercises, this activity book offers an entertaining look at the many aspects of graphic design—from typography’s humble beginnings at the dawn of the industrial revolution to the internet-based font distribution of today; from the first printed Christmas cards in the 1850s to David Carson’s revolutionary layouts of the late 1980s; from styles including art nouveau, Dada, Bauhaus, and psychedelic to innovators such as William Morris, Jan Tschichold, Saul Bass, and Jessica Helfand. A History of Graphic Design for Rainy Days has been created by Studio 3, the student-driven design agency from Oslo that also brought you the bestselling Hyperactivitypography from A to Z.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gestalten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47058031247600,"sku":"9783899553895","price":29.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783899553895_p0.jpg?v=1763702590","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783899553895","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
