Just Published! MICA professor Sandra Maxa is the co-author and designer of the new edition of the classic text, Meggs’ History of Graphic Design, published by Wiley. The seventh edition is a bold departure from the chronological structure of the previous editions and aims to help students and practitioners understand graphic design as a shared, collaborative history. Chapters are organized by themes with a new visual timeline to provide context and over 1200 images of diverse artifacts from pre-history to the twenty-first century.
