One fateful rainy day, a bored kid asks his grandfather "what in the world is graphic design?" Starting with that innocent question, this activity book takes its readers on a charmingly illustrated and cleverly revealing whirlwind tour through this creative discipline's milestone developments, personalities, and technologies. With its engaging design, humorous narratives, and fun-filled exercises, it offers an entertaining look at the many aspects of graphic design - from typography's humble beginnings to the internet-based font distribution of today; from styles including art nouveau, Dada, Bauhaus, and psychedelic to innovators such as William Morris, Jan Tschichold, Saul Bass, and David Carson.
