{"product_id":"graphic-design-theory-readings-from-the-field","title":"Graphic Design Theory: Readings from the Field","description":"Graphic Design Theory presents groundbreaking, primary texts from the most important historical and contemporary design thinkers. From Aleksandr Rodchenko’s \"Who We Are: Manifesto of the Constructivist Group\" to Kenya Hara’s \"Computer Technology and Design,\" this essential volume provides the necessary foundation for contemporary critical vocabulary and thought. Graphic Design Theory is organized in three sections: \"Creating the Field\" traces the evolution of graphic design over the course of the early 1900s, including influential avant-garde ideas of futurism, constructivism, and the Bauhaus; \"Building on Success\" covers the mid- to late twentieth century and considers the International Style, modernism, and postmodernism; and \"Mapping the Future\" opens at the end of the last century and includes current discussions on legibility, social responsibility, and new media. Striking color images illustrate each of the movements discussed and demonstrate the ongoing relationship between theory and practice. A brief commentary prefaces each text, providing a cultural and historical framework through which the work can be evaluated.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1568987722\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1568987722.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Armstrong, Helen\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
