Books like The history of graphic design by Jens Müller


The book traces the development of graphic design from its origins in poster art to its expansion into advertising, corporate identity, packaging and editorial work between the late 19th century and 1945. With over 2,500 significant designs catalogued, 71 are examined in depth, while 61 influential designers—including Alphonse Mucha, Edward Johnston, El Lissitzky, Herbert Matter, Saul Bass and A. M. Cassandre—are highlighted. Jens Müller’s careful curation places each standout work within its yearly context and marks major industry milestones. The introductory essay by David Jury situates the discipline within early printing, engraving and lithography, and each decade is prefaced by a succinct overview and an illustrative visual timeline that maps the global diversity of graphic production.
