Summary "The AGI - the Alliance Graphique Internationale - unites the world's leading graphic designers and artists in a professional club of common interest and achievement. It is an elite club. Since its inception in 1951, its members have been collectively responsible for the identity design of most of the world's top corporations and institutions as well as for countless examples of globally known packaging, publications, illustration and posters. This lavishly illustrated work of reference presents biographies of almost every AGI member to date, including such luminaries as Saul Bass, Alan Fletcher, April Greiman, Adrian Frutiger, Milton Glaser, Stefan Sagmeister, Cassandre, Dick Bruna, Bruno Munari and Irma Boom, accompanied by reproductions of their best - and often iconic - work. It also includes over thirty essays by some of the most prominent AGI members, who consider the history of recent graphic design and its present developments, as well as offering a thorough history of the AGI itself: its worldwide meetings, congresses, seminars, exhibitions and publications."--Jacket.
