<p>W. A. Dwiggins: A Life in Design offers an engaging and inspiringoverview of the designer's wide-ranging creative output and lastingimpact on the graphic arts. Bruce Kennett's careful research, warmprose, and inclusion of numerous personal accounts from Dwiggins'sfriends and contemporaries portray not only a brilliant designer, but atruly likable character. Often credited with inventing the term "graphic design," W. A. Dwiggins was a quintessential maker - fabricating hisown tools, inventing techniques, and experimenting with design in areasas wide-ranging as modular ornament, stamps, currency, books, kites,marionettes, and theatrical sets and lighting. More than any of hiscontemporaries, he united the full range of applied arts into a singleprofession - designer. Despite this, a thorough study of Dwiggins hadnever been published until this book was released in 2018.</p>
