Earthquakes, Mudslides, Fires & Riots: California and Graphic Design, 1936-1986

Marget Larsen's 1963 wrapping paper for the "hip" mid-century department store Joseph Magnin, which catered to the "mod, young, postwar, baby-boomer consumer, is reproduced from Earthquakes, Mudslides, Fires & Riots, Metropolis Books' best-selling survey of California Graphic Design, 1936-1986. Authored by noted designer and CalArts treasure Louise Sandhaus, it's one of Michael Bierut's top design books of the last year for Design Observer. He writes, "Published in late 2014, but too good to keep off this list. The essential record of America’s most American design movement, in a form that perfectly matches its content."
