Scope and Contents This periodical was published twice yearly as a survey of historic design style and typography and its influence on contemporary graphic design. Various Mohawk papers and printing techniques were employed in this outstanding esthetically appealing example of graphic design. Design & Style's mission was to examine the relationship between printing technology and graphic style. The cover of this volume depict a cut-out version of a streamlined locomotive. The text traces the streamline style as deriving from "Modernism, as extolled by Futurism, Constructivism, De Stijl and Bauhaus, [that] was exported to America via books, annuals and the many proponents of the movement who emigrated to New York and Chicago, Their distinctly European ideas were wed to the developing American design forms, resulting in a pluralistic but distinct period style - a blend of the decorative and the austere, the modern and the moderne, the geometric and the biomorphic." -- Source of annotation: Marvin...
