Well, isn't this something. Many thanks to Cheryl D. Holmes Miller, DHL for her kind and insightful thoughts about the new 7th edition. It has been quite a journey and getting feedback is a great reward. https://www.printmag.com/design-education/meggs-history-of-graphic-design-7th-edition-reforms-the-canon/

Friends~ I have a hopefully small request. We are very soon after the launch of Meggs' 7ed. and understand a lotta folks haven't had a chance to dive into the book. That said, if you have early impressions and/or fully formed opinions (good, bad, or indifferent) we'd be grateful if you would submit a review to Amazon. Thank you!

Wanna feel worse about your writing? Hire a copy editor. Don’t get me wrong they are amazing! But, every grammatical and formatting error is laid bare. To make matters worse, correct the errors on typeset pages. In the end, though, our new book is significantly sharper. #writing #designwriting #designhistory #graphicdesign #graphicdesignhistory #process
Today is a BIG day. Almost 5 years to the day from when we began the project, we have submitted the complete 1st draft of the 7th ed. of Meggs' History of Graphic Design. Will share further thoughts about the project and this milestone soon, but for now... whew! #graphicdesign #graphicdesignhistory #meggs7ed #designwriting #designhistory #firstdraft #milestone #designwriting #typography
MarkMaking sense of the making sense of authoring is something that is easy to forget to do.
So, I offer the first post for your information and comment (https://mhogd7.info/editing-is-hard/). We'd love to hear from you! Comments do require registering with the site, but please do. Hoping posts like this orient and propel our work and yours.
