ART H 2601 - History of Modern Graphic Design

Institution:

Temple University

Subject:

Description:

The mixture of image and type we view today as graphic design has a history rooted in the earliest pictographs on pre-historic cave walls, evolving through such experiences as Roman political campaigns, medieval illuminated manuscripts, Renaissance book design, and the Industrial Revolution before arriving in the twentieth century. Keeping this rich heritage in mind, this course will investigate the development of graphic design from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, as a result of technological advances, political upheaval, commerce, and cultural and artistic exchange. We will discuss issues and works that are relevant to the field of graphic design in order to enrich your practice and develop critical thinking skills that will be useful to you throughout your academic and professional careers in other environments as well.
