In this article, I have provided a brief survey of Chinese graphic design in Greater China. I have taken an historical view of the pioneering role of Hong Kong designers within the region, and have established the importance of treating the whole region as having one, unified history. the article has demonstrated the lead- ership role of early Hong Kong designers such as Henry Steiner, Kan Tai-Keung, and Alan Chan, whose styles were influential Throughout Greater China in the 1970s and 1980s.
