Member eli… Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 This topic was imported from the Typophile platform Typophiles might be interested in reading Johanna Drucker's reviews of Meggs' and Hollis's graphic design histories. It's available for free online as part of the inaugural issue of Design and Culture.http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/berg/dgcj/2009/00000001/00000001 Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Thanks for linking to this article, Craig, and for giving notice of a new design magazine. Link to comment
Member eli… Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 You're welcome. I should probably also link to the organization behind the journal, which is the Design Studies Forum. Link to comment
Member Nic… Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Thanks for the heads-up, Craig. The Origins of Graphic Design in America by Ellen Mazur Thomson, 1997, is far and away the best "cultural studies" history of design I've come across. Due credit to Meggs though, he established a canon, which enhanced the status of the profession. Link to comment
