A Stylistic Survey of Graphic Design
Product Description
A Stylistic Survey of Graphic Design shows an array of aesthetic advancement. This rigorously researched and hand-illustrated diagram documents the progression of Graphic Design from the Victorian era into the modern digital age. Each memorable style of graphic expression is delineated here by its respective design elements and corralled into movements tracing back nearly 200 years. From the finials and fronds of Art Nouveau to the Weimar utility of the Bauhaus to the taxonomical, sense-making project of Data Visualization, this survey of stylistics is a paean to patterns of composition, and an amazing contextual tool for design-lovers.

About the Designer
Ben and Patrick met while working together at Penguin, where Ben was a designer and Patrick was an editor. One afternoon while working to put together a chart for a book, they began to wonder why no one was charting anything fun. Moreover, while both of them had collaborated with authors to bring ideas to the printed page, they hadnāt yet worked on anything that was fully theirs. So, using his editorial background, Patrick began to research, and Ben, using his design expertise, began laying out the charts. Within two weeks, when they found themselves rolling prints and putting them in mailing tubes at two oāclock in the morning out of a cubicle in a co-working space, they realized they were onto something. Two months later, when their beer print was featured on āThe Today Show,ā they knew they'd someday be able to leave their day jobs and build a company dedicated to combining data with design.
