The Anatomy of Design : Uncovering the Influences and Inspiration in Modern Graphic Design
Author(s): Mirko Ilic, & Steven Heller
These pieces represent contemporary artifacts that are well conceived, finely crafted, and filled with hidden treasures. Some are overtly complex. Others are so simple that it is hard to believe there is a storehouse of inspiration hidden underneath. The selections include all kinds of design work such as posters, packages, and more. Each exhibit is selected for its ubiquity, thematic importance, and aesthetic significance, and every page shows how great work is derived from various inspirational and physical sources.
