New Retro: Classic Graphics, Today's Designs
Low stock: 1 left
A concise history of graphic design with an astute selection of contemporary work that makes great use of past inspiration.
Reinterpreting the past—the greatest form of creative flattery—never goes out of fashion. In the midst of today’s technologically-driven design, there has been a return to the comfort of familiar imagery and typography, particularly from the twentieth century.
Drawing on classic examples from the history of graphic design, New Retro shows how the past can be updated to the needs of today. This solidly researched and presented work is aimed at students, for whom much of the book’s content will be entirely new, and at design professionals, who are always looking for inspiration from the past.
New Retro features a portfolio of the best international designs produced in recent years, presented by application: editorial, packaging, identity, promotional, and type design. It also includes an historical survey of graphic design, with timelines of key figures and pieces.

Condition Descriptions
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.
