In the swirling passage of time, graphic design – with its vivid and sharp synthesis of images and ideas – has captured the spirit of every era. Every single moment of every day, we are surrounded by minimalist packaging, picturesque advertisements, brilliant environmental infographics and agile interfaces. Thus, graphic design serves as much to convey information as it does to reflect the cultural aspirations and values of a society. Thanks to his extensive knowledge of the subject, author Jens Müller reviews each year’s most outstanding projects, which represent milestones in the history of design. This collection of important graphic works is an indispensable reflection on the evolution of a creative field subject to constant changes and challenges. Helping us to recognise the decisive impact of graphic design on our daily lives, these seminal projects serve as coordinates for orientation in contemporary history.
