This publication is a special issue on Canadian graphic design, released in 1975 as a supplementary volume to IDEA, the Japanese magazine dedicated to typography and graphic design.
It is one of the few systematic surveys of the designers and design studios that shaped Canada’s visual culture during that period, and today it stands as a foundational reference for the study of modern Canadian graphic design history.
The issue presents a diverse range of work—including advertising, visual identity systems, posters, and editorial design—while also documenting each studio’s methodology, design process, and visual language in detail.
Many of the designers featured have since come to be regarded as significant figures in the field, making this publication a rare and invaluable archive for understanding the broader landscape of Canadian graphic design at the time.
