Summary
The first monograph on graphic designer Robert Brownjohn, this book intertwines a rigorous analysis of his work with colourful accounts of his life. Brownjohn's work is examined in the context of design history, the dawning of Pop Art and the transfer of influence to Britain in the 1960s. As well, the book explores the application of the techniques of graphic design to moving images, an area in which Brownjohn was a pioneer.
