Jeremy Aynsley's Pioneers of Modern Graphic Design: A Complete History surveys the development of modern graphic design through the people, studios and movements that shaped it. The book profiles more than sixty influential designers, ranging from early figures such as Peter Behrens to later names including Saul Bass and Neville Brody, up to designers working with digital technology such as Jonathan Barnbrook. Alongside individual profiles, it covers studios and movements that shaped graphic design history, including early transport posters, jazz record cover design, the 1960s underground press, and the style magazines of the 1980s and 1990s, as well as key design schools such as the Bauhaus and the Cranbrook Academy of Art, giving the book its claim to being a reasonably complete history of the field.
