| Summary Note |
"'100 years of Swiss graphic design' takes a fresh look at posters and corporate design, at photo-graphics, editorial design, type, and typography from Switzerland. It presents a broad range of contemporary visual design as well as the specific traditions that span the work of different eras. Organized thematically, generational and paradigmatic shifts are made manifest through their different visual languages and philosophies as this publication outlines the diverse fields of activity and media and how they relate to advertising, art, and politics. Graphic design from Switzerland reflects international tendencies as well as local concerns. Outstanding conceptual and formal quality, irony and wit, are its constant companions. This book represents a new and comprehensive reference work on visual communication in Switzerland." - Back cover. |
