Эволюция графических стилей. От викторианской эпохи до нового века

Rate this book
Книга посвящена истории и эволюции графического дизайна — от момента возникновения коммерческого искусства в результате промышленной и деловой революции XIX века и до наших дней. В издании подробно рассматриваются как крупные графические стили, оставившие заметный след в истории дизайна, включая особенности их распространения, индивидуального развития и практику применения в разных странах, так и уникальные явления в графике, существовавшие изолированно (например, польский плакат).

Авторы акцентируют внимание читателя на формальных и визуальных характеристиках соответствующих периодов дизайна, и главным объектом их изучения выступают сами произведения, а не их создатели.

Мабуть одна з перших книг, які я прочитав про графічний дизайн і до якої час від часу повертаюсь, щоб отримати натхнення. Допомагає скласти загальне враження про розвиток дизайну, познайомитись з різними стилями, навчитися візуально розрізняти їх та розуміти як вони виникли. Трохи не вистачає уваги до цифрового дизайну, але тим не менш можна погортати, надихнутись деталями чи композицією і створити щось цікаве. Порадив би початківцям і як підручник з історії графічного дизайну і водночас як журнал, що допоможе розвинути відчуття смаку і використати це в своїх роботах.
Також подобається робота автора з текстом, який побудований так, щоб зацікавити читача новими іменами та ключовими моментами і роботами в дизайні, не полінитись і загуглити.

Гарний гайд по візуальному стилю 19-21 століть. Розкладає напрямки по відведених комірчинках в мозку. Звісно, перелік далеко неповний, особливо по сучасних стилях, але загалом дуже навіть непогана добірка.

Интересно наблюдать, как автор плавно переносит нас от викторианства до цифровых технологий. Вроде еще на прошлой странице ты изучал ар-деко, а сейчас уже смотришь на представителей неоэкспрессионизма.

Единственное, хотелось бы поменьше упоминаний конкретных художников/дизайнеров (всех их не знаешь и не запомнишь), а больше интересных фактов, влияния, философии стиля.

Но, книгу очень рекомендую всем, кто интересуется дизайном 🤓

A fun romp through some great innovations in graphic design. I agree with some criticisms that it's a surface level and biased towards western white guys.

A linear and one-sided view on graphic design. When reading about the history of design I expect to learn about the influences that have formed design — not only the the big western names that 'made a big change in the design world' or 'really did something new'. This book features mainly white male designers that took their inspiration from different cultures. Another white male dominated –boring– take on graphic design. <*

Удобная история дизайна, сосредоточенная больше на рекламе, плакатах и шрифтах. Полезно тем, что все по полочкам и с огромным количеством графики, которую просто так не найдёшь в свободном доступе.

Very good overview over the history of Graphic Design even though the authors seemed to have forgot many famous influential artists/designers for example Banksy and Wim Crouwel.

The language was way too complicated for it's own best. The complicated language with the extremely long sentences made it very hard to understand the content. Then you had to read it 3 times if you wanted to truly understand.
If you have English as your mother tongue it shouldn't be any problems, but if you're bilingual and have English as a secondary language, like me, expect to have google translate or a good dictionary at hand every time you read.

Otherwise I like the structure of the book: First a long introduction that described the specific movement, only text. Followed by pages filled with a lot of pictures and shorter captions to it.

I've learned a lot from this book and would recommend it to anyone that likes to read in-depth about graphic design and its movements, and can handle the english language fluently.

Beautifully laid out (they must know someone in graphic design or something). Engaging and incredibly informative, this is the best historic breakdown of graphic styles in poster art that I have ever come across and lordy-lordy they sure don't skimp on the pictures. Worth every single penny and 20,000 more.

I used this book for my course this year and I read it from front to back and I think it has some awesome inspiring images in it as well as some great information about different type periods of design.

And yes, I'm totally counting this as something I read, because I did. Granted, I was forced to because of college. But at least I enjoyed it.

Just not what I expected. The examples are fine, but instead of an overview of minor and major art movements and styles, I get a mishmash of confused history.
