PROJECT DESCRIPTION
1, 10, 100 Years: Form, Typography, and Interaction at Parsons is a retrospective capturing the past year, decade, and century of the Communication Design programs at Parsons through essays, interviews, data, and work. Since the school’s founding in 1896, Parsons has had the unique distinction of establishing the oldest graphic and communication design course of study in the United States. Since that time, the extraordinary growth of Communication Design at Parsons reflects the larger evolution of graphic design as a distinct discipline that plays a vital role in understanding and shaping our visual culture.
This book, like all books, is the product of an intricate patchwork of systems. Instead of the traditional tools of production, this book is built on a different set of interconnected technologies: 249 Markdown files managed by a flat-file CMS, 10 HTML templates, and 1,124 lines of CSS. The book lives as a continually updated preview on a server. It was generated as a PDF from the command line in 123.25 seconds on October 21, 2021 at 2:00am.
