The Graphic Design Reader is one of the most exciting books I’ve seen published in the field of graphic design. It is more than a historical overview, more than a single viewpoint. This book contains the past and the future of graphic design practice. It not only gathers together a critical collection of key writings and visual essays - it has been curated expertly to provide a launching point for new futures in graphic design thought, education and practice. I have no hesitation in recommending this new publication to anyone involved in graphic design practice and education; designer, student or teacher.
