Graphic Design and Typography

Use these bibliographies, subject headings, Web sites, and tips to begin your research in graphic design and typography. At Stanford, design is a discipline that spans multiple subjects/areas/departments. Therefore it's worth exploring multiple libraries and using multiple on- and off-line resources. Consider utilizing the offerings not only of the Art & Architecture Library, but also those of the Terman Engineering Library. A research guide pertaining to the more technical aspects of design can be found here.
