The Graphic Design Sourcebook
200 Years of Commercial Art from the Robert Opie Collection
(Autor) Robert OpieGlorious Graphics delves into the vast array of graphic design that surrounds us wherever we go, and has done so ever since printing was invented. Yet everyday graphics have mostly been ignored as an art form. From Victorian song sheets to French perfume labels, early matchboxes to decorative greetings cards, appealing cigarette packets to enticing holiday brochures, colourful advertisements to racy night club tickets, these miniature masterpieces deserve artistic recognition. With over a thousand images, Glorious Graphics is both an inspiring source book and a treasure trove of ideas; a true cornucopia of communication.
