Identita The story of Czech graphic design

Product detailed description

​

Identity explores the evolution of graphic design and typography in the Czech lands, revealing the work of its most influential creators, theorists, and practitioners. Through richly illustrated chapters, Linda Kudrnovská examines how design served both as a tool for cultural enrichment and, at times, as an instrument of propaganda.

Delve into the golden era of Czechoslovak film posters, the esteemed tradition of book cover design, and contemporary type innovations that stand out on the world stage. The book showcases over 500 previously unpublished sketches, mockups, photographs, and archival documents, offering fresh insights into how visual communication shaped—and was shaped by—the society that produced it.

Meticulously designed and edited, Identity is an essential resource for designers, historians, and anyone passionate about the crossroads of culture, history, and the graphic arts.
