It serves as the foundation of visual communication and is one of the most pervasive creative disciplines today. This title presents 100 graphic designers in A-to-Z order, each featured across two double-page spreads filled with illustrations of their work. Accompanying these visuals is a 400-word text by the curator that explains their selections and highlights the showcased designs. The book emphasizes the diversity of graphic designers, featuring talents from over 25 countries, including emerging artists from Minneapolis to Macao. It captures a wide array of styles and influences, from the playful digital graphics of Eboy in Berlin to the regional aesthetics of Zimbabwe's Chaz Mavyanne Davies and Korea's Ahn Sang-Soo. It also includes the politically aware designs of Iran's Reza Abedini and the more traditional works of Italy's Leonardo Sonnoli. Additionally, ten curators share their choices for design "classics," showcasing significant pieces from any era, each accompanied by a brief text that connects the piece to the curator's philosophy of graphic design.
