Mapping Graphic Design History in Switzerland

Mapping Graphic Design History in Switzerland presents for the first time eleven selected essays on the production, mediation, and consumption of graphic design artifacts and processes, as well as their respective discourses by authors from the German, French and Italian-speaking areas of Switzerland.

The publication discusses theoretical and methodological approaches for historical research on graphic design, helps to establish graphic design history as an academic field in Switzerland, and makes this discourse accessible to researchers and professional graphic designers in Switzerland and abroad.
