Icons of Graphic Design presents a unique history of design, documenting over a century of creative brilliance.

More than one hundred seminal images - one from each year - are shown alongside the works that preceded their creation and the designs that were inspired or evolved from them. Examples include work from both famous and anonymous graphic artists - from Toulouse-Lautrec and Milton Glaser to Peter Saville and Michel Gondry - visually juxtaposing each example to reveal a theme or artistic device. You'll find inspiration and encouragement in equal measure, knowing that great work never dies - and great designers live forever.
