Design is everywhere. Graphic design enters into everything. This
is the scope of designer Steven Heller's latest essay anthology
that covers the spectrum of graphic design and related art and
culture. Looking at design as practice, language, culture, and
power, each of the forty-plus essays is a self-contained story.
Heller pours out his ideas criticisms and celebrations on such
topics as: A history of our modern Hindu-Arabic numerals, and a
look at the letter K Brand design utilized by Hillary Clinton and
Donald Trump early in the 2016 Presidential race The tumultuous
relationship between design and sex The Charlie Hebdo massacre and
the principles of free expression Icons revisited, including Paul
Rand (not to be confused with the politician Rand Paul), Ralph
Ginzburg, Frank Zachary, George Lois, and Print magazine Food
packaging, the design of milk, and USPS stamps The obsessive use of
cuteness, and the sad and happy history of the ubiquitous happy
face From commercial advertising to government institutions to
cultural revolution, from the objects that push design forward to
those that seep into the everyday, Graphic Design Rants and Raves
is an exploration of how visual design has arrived in the
twenty-first century. Allworth Press, an imprint of Skyhorse
Publishing, publishes a broad range of books on the visual and
performing arts, with emphasis on the business of art. Our titles
cover subjects such as graphic design, theater, branding, fine art,
photography, interior design, writing, acting, film, how to start

areas overlooked by other publishers and welcome the author whose
expertise can help our audience of readers.
