Graphic Means: A History of Graphic Design Production (2017)
Up until just over 30 years ago, when the desktop computer debuted, the whole design production process would have been done primarily by hand, and with the aide of analog machines. The design and print industries used a variety of ways to get type and image onto film, plates, and finally to the printed page. Graphic Means is a journey through this transformative Mad Men-era of pre-digital design production to the advent of the desktop computer. It explores the methods, tools, and evolving social roles that gave rise to the graphic design industry as we know it today.

Reviews
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
