Graphic Design That Encapsulates the Golden State, Alexandra Lange writes, "'It is common practice today to place the word California in front of almost any vagrant word and thus achieve a magic combination hopefully intended to make the heart jump and the purse strings fly open,' the designer Alvin Lustig wrote in 1947. But it wasn’t the word alone. Mr. Lustig and other graphic artists gave California a look, for periodicals, posters, packaging and vacation destinations, that also made the heart jump and loosened the purse strings. It was colorful, it was experimental, it was rough, it was digital. And the same can be said of the new book Earthquakes, Mudslides, Fires & Riots: California Graphic Design, 1936-1986 (Metropolis Books, $55) written and designed by Louise Sandhaus, 59, a graphic designer.
