Critics Review
“Jens M
Jens Müller ambitiously traces not only the evolution of an industry, but also the arc of our aesthetics. * TIME *Chronicle, treasure of pictures, source of ideas-and above all, great fun. * Der Spiegel *Graphic design history is a cultural, political, social, and technological history. Since it is impossible to understand one without the other, this book, which looks at the legacy and heritage of graphic design, is an essential portal to our appreciation of the world’s history. * Steven Heller *
