The desire to produce dates back to ancient times. Included in the Paleolithic Age, people had artistic creativity. These periods can be called the transition period of humanity. So, here we are in the modern-day, we have come a long way and communicate through many different mediums. One of the communication methods we use is visual communication. By definition, visual communication design is a creative process that combines visual arts and technology to convey ideas. Typography, image, color & form are used to solve problems and convey ideas using visual compositions. Editorial design is a sub-category of visual communication design and serves to engage readers, entertain them, convey information on pages, and guide understanding of content. Out of Print Books gives us a historical tour with the extensive editorial design archive and lots of different printed materials.
