Summary: it's a design reader, it's a history lesson...
Comment: ...that challenges and inspires the reader. This book is completely engaging -you won't put it down. It is a book of essays on graphic designs and illustrations (in varied mediums and medias) that have made an impact on our culture and our world for better or worse. I now must read every other Steven Heller book in print!

Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent As Introduction
Comment: Design Literacy and Design Literacy (continued) is an excellent introduction to graphic design under the surface. I use Phil Meggs' history book for facts and these books for inspiration.

Rating: 5
Summary: I'm no super idiot, but...
Comment: I use this book as a catch me up for everyone one of my students who are interested in graphic design, but don't know anything about it. This book and the sequel "Design Literacy Continued" are easy to read, wide in scope and plow through touchy subjects like Racist Websites and the garbage all over contemporary magazines.

It's the best education I ever got sitting in the bathroom.
