Graphic Design History (Mysearchlab)

amazing book. it is what I will read to my children a bedtime story. In my bumble profile, I quote this book. it will change your life.

Great school but, good read and history.

This book has a lot of information involving graphic design history, all the way from the very beginning of the recording of mankind's history. You man find some parts of the book to be hard to read, being very boring and dry, as many college textbooks tend to be.

The information is concise and to the point. This book is presented in an informal way compared to the Megg's History of Graphic Design.

I'm a junior graphic designer and I love learning art history. I still own nearly all of my art history textbooks and refer back to them often in my spare time.I had to purchase this book for a history of graphic design course, and though I found the information useful and insightful, the writing was incredibly dull. The authors explained everything in such detail, and with so little interest or enthusiasm about the subjects discussed that I quit reading after struggling to stay interested throughout the introduction and first chapter. I believe that textbooks should be written objectively but this book is formal and detached in the extreme. I simply find it difficult to develop or maintain interest in a book if the author can't manage to either.Perhaps if you like straightforward writing bereft of tone, this is for you.

Helping me alot for my art class it us a good book if you need for collage i recomend it

As described

I got this textbook as a class requirement and at first I was so eager to read it but every time I read my head spins! It gives me a headache! Why can't authors explain and use plain words that could be better understood by "regular" readers or students. This book is designed for those who have extremely high vocabulary storage in their brains or those who can process information in a snap. This book is NOT for regular students with average IQs. Sorry to say this but this book is a hard read! I totally agree (101%) for some here who made an honest review about this hard-to-read and comprehend book, though it contains a lot of good information. Sorry I can not recommend this book, take this if its required!
