THE ROOTS

»Without Utopia, man becomes stupid and ugly.« So begins »Thinking About Graphic Design,« the theme of this book. The focus is, to a lesser degree, not the images themselves, but rather the thoughts behind them. Exemplified and reflected upon are the best in their field. The authors ask, what makes graphic designers conceive things the way they do and not otherwise? And, as teachers of design, they have an interest in making this understood. Thus, this intellectual history of graphic design is also a guide for young designers to help them find their way.
