A History of Arab Graphic Design

Arab graphic design emerged in the early twentieth century out of a need to influence, and give expression to, the far-reaching economic, social, and political changes that were taking place in the Arab world at the time. Examining the work of over eighty key designers from Morocco to Iraq, and covering the period from pre-1900 to the end of the twentieth century, A History of Arab Graphic Design traces the people and events that were integral to the shaping of a field of graphic design in the Arab world.
