Reviews
This large and heavy book is full of inspiration from our founding fathers in the design world. I had the opportunity to hear Mervyn Kurlansky speak at a design conference a few months ago, and he described how long design took before computers made things nice and easy. This book is full of work by designers who had to use "old-fashioned" ways to get their results.I can appreciate the creative forces of those who paved the way for modern graphic design, just by turing the pages. Whenever I spend more than $[money] on a book, I demand quality in the content of the book itself. Master's of the 20th Century is worth every penny.Because graphic design didn't really come of age until this past century, you will experience it's history though the full-color samples in this book.I recommed this book to all graphic design professionals and to people who like to collect great coffee table books. Anyone who enjoys books with more pictures than words, will appreciate the beauty of this one!
