THE H STORY OF GRAPH C DES GN
For nearly fifteen centuries, people looked with fascination upon Egyptian hieroglyphs without understanding their meaning. Napoleon conducted an expedition in which his troops discovered a black slab with two languages and three scripts. (The Rosetta Stone) Ancient Egypt clearly represents the early phases of Western civilization, as we know it today. Greek culture received much of its knowledge from the Egyptians. -Meggs
The Greek alphabet first came into use around 700 BC. Within 300 years the Greeks had developed from dependence on oral tradition based on myths, to a rationalistic, logical culture, which laid the foundation for logic, science, philosophy, psychology, political science, and individualism. The Romans owed their very existence to the Etruscans, and obliterated them, perhaps from ordinary greed, perhaps to hide a truth too degrading to admit. -Meggs
During the eight-century CE, Chinese culture and the Buddhist religion were exported to Japan, where the earliest surviving datable printing was produced. Dynastic records attribute the invention of paper to the eunuch and high government official Ts’ai Lun, who reported his invention to Emperor Ho in 105 CE.This process for making paper continued almost unchanged until papermaking was mechanized in nineteenth century England. -Meggs
During the 1200s the Romanesque period evolved into the Gothic and the rise of the universities created an expanding market for books. For example, twenty thousand of Paris’s hundred thousand residents were students who flocked to the city to attend the university there. Literacy was on the rise, and professional lay illuminators emerged to help meet the growing demand for books. -Meggs
The cultural and political climate was changing during this time. .To fill the formal void, architects, painters, and sculptors enthusiastically embraced the classical forms of ancient Greek and Roman art, which captivated the public in the 1790s.The state of English printing was such that a printing house, type foundry, and ink manufactory had to be established to produce work of the desired quality -Meggs
The Industrial Revolution generated a shift in the social and economic role of typographic communication. Before the nineteenth century, dissemination of information through books and broadsheets was its dominant function. The faster pace and mass-communication needs of an increasingly urban and industrialized society produced a rapid expansion of jobbing printers, advertising, and posters. -Meggs
The reign of Victoria (1819-1901) spanned two-thirds of the nineteenth century. The Victorian era was a time of strong moral and religious beliefs, proper social conventions, and optimism. The Victorians searched for a design spirit to express their epoch. Aesthetic confusion led to a number of often-contradictory design approaches and philosophies mixed together in a scattered fashion. -Meggs
The legacy of the Arts and Crafts movement extends beyond visual appearances. Its attitudes about materials, function, and social value became an important inspiration for twentieth-century graphic designers. Its positive impact on graphic design continues a century after William Morris’s death through the revivals of earlier typeface designs, the continued efforts toward excellence in book design and typography, and the private press movement that continues to this day. -Meggs
Early art nouveau objects and furniture had been primarily one-of-a-kind or limited edition items. But as the design of posters and periodicals brought art nouveau to an ever-widening circle, far greater quantities were produced. Some manufacturers focused on the bottom line by turning out vast amounts of merchandise and graphics with lower design standards. -Meggs
Modernist pictorial graphs in Europe focused on the total integration of word and image, which became one of the most enduring currents of twentieth-century graphic design. The approach began with Bernhard’s 1905 Priester matches poster, responded to the communications needs of World War I and the formal innovations of cubism and other early modern-art movements, and emerged to play a major role in defining the visual sensibilities of the 1920s and 1930s. -Meggs
Many of the immigrants who brought European design principles to the U.S. arrived virtually penniless and with minimal possessions, but they were armed with talent, ideas, and a strong belief in design as a valuable human activity that could contribute to the improvement of human communication and the human condition. The American experience was greatly enriched by their presence. –Meggs
The accomplishments and influences of the Bauhaus transcend its fourteen-year life, thirty-three faculty members, and about 1,250 students. It created a viable, modern design movement spanning architecture, product design, and visual communications. A modernist approach to visual education was developed, and the faculty’s class-preparation and teaching methods made a major contribution to visual theory. -Meggs

Rise of print in Europe/ Renaissance Graphic Design
During the remarkable first decades of typography, German printers and graphic artists established a national tradition of the illustrated book and spread the new medium of communication throughout Europe and even to the New World. At the same time, a cultural renaissance emerged in Italy and swept graphic design in unprecedented new directions. -Meggs

This puts it into deliberate opposition to the old typography whose aim was "beauty" and whose clarity did not attain the high level we require today. This utmost clarity is necessary today because of the manifold claims for our attention made by the extraordinary amount of print, which demands the greatest economy of expression. -Die Neue Typographia, pg. 66
The visual characteristics of this style include a unity of design achieved by asymmetrical organization of the design elements on a mathematically constructed grid; objective photography and copy that present visual and verbal information in a clear and factual manner, free from the exaggerated claims of propaganda and commercial advertising; and the use of sans-serif typography set in a flush-left and ragged right margin configuration. -Meggs
The InternationalTypographic Style
TheNew YorkSchool
The New York school was born from an excitement about European modernism and fueled by economic and technological expansion; it became a dominant force in graphic design from the 1940s until the 1970s. Many of its practitioners, young revolutionaries who altered the course of American visual communications in the 1940s and 1950s, continued to design into the 1990s. -Meggs
Throughout this time the cultural norms of Western society were being scrutinized, and the authority of traditional institutions was being questioned. Pluralism emerged as people began to dispute the underlying tenets of modernism. The continuing quest for equality by women and minorities contributed to a growing climate of cultural diversity, as did immigration, international travel, and global communications. -Meggs
Postmodern Graphic Designin the Global Village
By the 1970s, many believed the modern era was drawing to a close in art, design, politics, and literature. The cultural norms of Western society were being scrutinized, and the authority of traditional institutions was being questioned. Pluralism emerged as people began to dispute the underlying tenets of modernism. Accepted viewpoints were challenged by those who sought to remedy bias and distortion in the historical record. -Meggs
