Critics Review
A book that reveals the untold stories of well-known contemporary Chinese graphic designers. Whether you are a student, a researcher or someone interested in design history, this book helps you understand the challenging journeys and development of contemporary Chinese graphic design * Xiyuan Tan, Lecturer in Graphic Design, Loughborough University, UK *Contemporary Chinese Graphic Design Practice is a welcome contribution to the discourse of graphic design and research about graphic design. It tells an important story about a little known history - even in China, let alone the West. This book demonstrates that there are significant histories of design other than those that dominate our awareness of a field that is typically understood as Euro-centric * Ian McArthur, Associate Professor of Design, University of New South Wales, Australia *
