Art directors’ world of design

Through the lives of 10 magazine art directors–Alexey Brodovitch, Otto Storch, Herb Lubalin, Willy Fleckhaus, Peter Knapp, George Lois, Terry Jones, Neville Brody, David Carson, Tibor Kalman–from the 1930s to 1990s, the author discovers the philosophy and roles of designers in our ever changing world. The book covers the world of the design and magazine industry, including the emergence of art directors and their golden age, their slump, and the rise of new sensibilities.
