Un Nouveau Programme pour le Design Graphique

A *New* Curriculum for Graphic Design is a do-it-yourself textbook that combines pragmatism and experimentation, drawing on pedagogical models from the second half of the twentieth century to convey the fundamental principles of contemporary design. Taking three courses (‘Typography’, ‘Gestalt’ and ‘Interface’) originally developed for art students, David Reinfurt offers readers from all disciplines a general and detailed introduction to graphic design and visual literacy. From Benjamin Franklin to Bruno Munari, via Moholy-Nagy, Muriel Cooper and the Macintosh computer, this book is a practical guide for designers seeking to understand and shape the increasingly complex world of information and design.

Graphic designer, writer and teacher David Reinfurt introduced the study of graphic design at Princeton University. Founder of O-R-G.inc, Dexter Sinister and The Serving Library, Reinfurt has been associated with several studios that have reimagined the world of information and design. He is the co-author of Muriel Cooper (MIT Press, 2017).
