Karl Gerstner is one of the foremost Swiss graphic designers. In this book Karl Gerstner recapitulates his now 50 years of active work as a graphic designer. The ups and downs of a designer’s professional life are vividly illustrated with samples of work, both realized and rejected by the client. Despite its didactic structure, the book´s tone is never moralizing: It is not Gerstner´s intention to tell how it should be done, but rather how he did it.
