Where it came from
Ken Garland authored Graphics, Design, and Printing Terms in 1980 to serve as a practical, accessible reference guide for professionals working within the visual communication industry. During this era, the transition from traditional typesetting and manual paste-up to evolving print technologies created a need for a concise dictionary that bridged the gap between creative design concepts and the technical realities of the printing press.
The volume reflects Garland’s background as a prominent British graphic designer and educator known for his commitment to clarity and social responsibility. His approach to this book was to demystify jargon, stripping away unnecessary complexity to provide readers with accurate, functional definitions. It remains respected as a testament to the period’s craftsmanship, written by a practitioner who prioritized utility and straightforward communication over abstract theory.
