Graphic Design Referenced is the new visual guide to the language, applications, and a history of graphic design by the well-known couple Byrony Gomez-Palcio and Armin Vit of Under Consideration. Most known for their online efforts with sites such as Speak Up, Brand New, The Design Encyclopedia, and Quipsologies, the two have now embarked on a book containing the most commonly referenced terms, historical moments, landmark projects and pracitioners of graphic design. It’s a book that will provide an intense overview of the elements that make up the graphic design industry.

On their successful blog Speak Up, Armin reveals one of the stories about Otl Aicher where he shares the extended version of the story where as in the book it will be edited down to just 285-words. The article contains a few images to support the story and is really a nice overview of Otl and his work.

The expected release date will be in the Spring of 2009 by Rockport Publishers.
