Features: With the development and maturation of graphic design, books on the history of graphic design have become increasingly abundant. Among them, there are comprehensive and detailed works, as well as concise overviews that briefly trace the evolution of graphic design. Although these books each have their own strengths, issues arise during teaching use: detailed sources often appear complex and disorganized, making it difficult for students to grasp the overall context of graphic design's development, while concise histories are overly simplified and lack practical analysis, weakening their guidance for practice. Therefore, the authors attempt to outline the main lines of the evolution of graphic design concepts and the progression of styles while providing specific analyses and interpretations of representative figures and classic works from a practical perspective. This led to the creation of A Concise History of Modern Graphic Design. Through the interpretation of theory and practical cases, it is believed that this book will greatly benefit both students' design practice and the enhancement of their theoretical knowledge.
