This monograph documents the formative decade of the Dutch design agency Total Design, founded in 1963. Through an extensive collection of archival sketches, correspondence, and project photography, the book examines the studio’s rigorous methodology in developing corporate identity and complex visual systems. It serves as a definitive record of how Wim Crouwel, Benno Wissing, and their peers fundamentally reshaped the trajectory of European graphic design.
