The premise behind GraphicDesign& is that graphic design only exists because it is connected to all other subjects. The Bliss Bibilographic Classification system suits this idea perfectly because it allows for the same book to be in more than one location within a library. GraphicDesign& uses the Bliss system as its framework, gradually publishing titles that link graphic design to each of the Bliss system’s top level subjects. The Bliss system was the brainchild of American Henry E Bliss (1870–1955) while he was an assistant librarian in New York. Bliss developed it using his typewriter and its quaintly typographic codes are therefore comprised of combinations of upper- and lower-case letters, numerals and every typographical symbol that happened to be available to him. The code for graphic design is WFG.
