Uno de los placeres de la vida es el descubrimiento y redescubrimiento de patrones de orden y belleza en la naturaleza; los diseños revelados por los cortes continuos de un repollo o de una naranja, las formas de los caracoles y de las alas de las mariposas.

La formidable expansión de los medios de comunicación audiovisual -que han convertido esa industria virtual en la primera del mundo- ha situado en el primer plano de las responsablilidades sociales al diseño grafico, el cual desempeña a su vez un servicio potencialmente brillante, eficaz y competitivo. Pero, mas alla de sus prestaciones instrumentales y de sus obligaciones utilitarias, hay en ciertas obras una carga poetica tan sutil como evidente que ha animado a Joan Brossa a definir el diseño como "un arte lleno de posibilidades". Ciertamente, conseguir que las letras sean imagenes y las imagenes hablen como palabras son desafios tecnicos y poeticos considerables que no estan al alcance de todos. Por fortuna, en nuestro pais muchos practicantes de una profesion polivalente como pocas han logrado, antes y ahora, superar sobradamente el reto: desde rapsodas del diseño tipografico a arquitectos de libros, diarios y revistas; de prestidigitadores de logotipos, marcas y etiquetas a pintores de carteles y letras; de virtuosos del anuncio publicitario a exploradores de la pictografia y la señalizacion comercial... En nuestro mundo mediatico, esa disciplina de remotos origenes artesanales se ha transformado en una forma comunicativa propia, que algunos creen nueva. Por el contrario, volviendo simplemente la vista atras, en El diseño grafico en España podemos percibir con toda claridad la familiar silueta de una historia epica, pintoresca y emocionante como la vida misma.

Des brocards et damas enchanteurs, des velours de soie lumineux tissés à la main, des imprimés traditionnels à la planche de bois, ainsi que des motifs contemporains éclatants, conçus comme de vérita
