Scope and Contents Consists of a collection of essays about graphic design which were written between 1985 and 1995. The topics among others include decontructivism, written numbers, and history of styles, punctuations, ornaments, and alterations to typefaces. In a chapter entitled, Language of Dreams, the authors identify graphic differences among pictograph, ideograph, rebus, syllabary and alphabet. If stylized standing figures of a man and woman are depicted adjacent to each other, the pictograph symbolizes "man and woman" whereas the ideograph "toilets." Stylized images of a knife and fork placed next to each other symbolize "knife and fork" as a pictograph and "restaurant " as ideograph. A stylized standing figure of a man might signify "john" or a stylized front-view of an automobile "car" as a rebus. The alphabet letter 'A' might be depicted as a Martini glass, 'B' as a boat, etc. The final section of this book deals with a history of graphic design in America. -- Source of annotation: Marvin...
