Swiss graphic design and the Swiss Style are crucial elements in the history of modernism. During the 1920s and 30s, skills traditionally associated with Swiss industry, particularly pharmaceuticals and mechanical engineering, were matched by those of the countrys graphic designers, who produced their advertising and technical literature. These pioneering graphic artists saw design as part of industrial production and searched for anonymous, objective visual communication. They chose photographic images rather than illustration, and typefaces that were industriallooking rather than those designed for books.Written by noted design authority Richard Hollis, this lavishly illustrated volume looks at the uniquely clear graphic language developed by such Swiss designers as Theo Ballmer, Max Bill, Adrian Frutiger, Karl Gerstner, Armin Hoffman, Ernst Keller, Herbert Matter, Josef MllerBrockmann, and Jan Tschichold.

A must-read for design enthusiasts!
This book provides a thorough look at Swiss graphic design from 1920 to 1965, and it's beautifully presented. The images are vibrant, and the insights into the evolution of the style really sparked my creativity. I bought it as a gift for a friend who's studying design, and I can't wait to see their reaction!

Great historical context!
I loved the historical background provided in this book about Swiss design. It really gives context to the pieces and movements from 1920 to 1965. However, I found it a bit dense at times, which made it hard to get through all at once. Definitely a good reference for anyone interested in graphic design history.
