Abstract
Graphic Style is a visual survey of graphic design styles through the ages. First published in 1988, it has become an essential resource for designers and students. With more than 700 illustrations, it is the only wide-ranging history of graphic design to be completely visual, and many readers treasure it for its amazing trove of images. This new edition has been brought completely up to date, with sections devoted to styles of the twenty-first century, including the widely popular Street Art and Handlettering movements. Graphic Style, a collaboration between Steven Heller, a distinguished design critic, and Seymour Chwast, a celebrated illustrator, deserves to be in every designer's, artist's, and art lover's library.
