Recensioner i media

"We have come a long way over 42 years, and that’s apparent here. Philip Meggs’ tendency toward bold, poetic claims (“The invention of writing brought the luster of civilization to people and made it possible to preserve hard-won knowledge”) now seems dated, and has given way to more neutral, objective wordings (“Writing enabled the recording and transmission of ideas across time and space.”) The idea of a master narrative and the Eurocentric bias of earlier editions of this text have been pressured, and forced to make room for multiplicity and inclusivity. The history of graphic design appears, here, fresher, livelier and more relevant... Naturally, there is always more work to do: the sea of images that comprise the history of graphic design is vast, centerless, and heaving. But Sanders and Maxa, capable guides, have done their part in steering this ship on its latest voyage."--Kerr Houston, Bmore Art, November 11, 2025https://bmoreart.com/2025/11/charting-the-sea-meggs-history-of-graphic-design.html"The 7th Edition is a reformation — dismantling the core barriers that have kept many of us from realizing our full potential in this field. It will make a transformative difference for years to come. The next generation of designers will find themselves in the history of graphic design and propel the industry forward."--Cheryl D. Holmes-Miller, PRINT Magazine, November 4, 2025https://www.printmag.com/design-education/meggs-history-of-graphic-design-7th-edition-reforms-the-canon
