Street
Graphics
The term "Street Graphics" is short-hand for
the publication Street Graphics and the Law.
It is also descriptive of the general approach taken by the
authors to regulating the built environment. There
were two authors of the original Street Graphics and the Law
book; William R. Ewald, Jr. and Daniel R. Mandelker. Street Graphics and the Law emerged in
1971 when the Baltimore
County Planning Commission retained William Ewald's office to develop
and draft a countywide sign ordinance. Ewald chose to partner with Dan Mandelker
in writing the ordinance. When
complete, the ordinance was presented to Baltimore county. Upon reviewing the ordinance, Baltimore
County rejected the ordinance as unworkable.
Street
Graphics and the Law has been republished a number of times,
most recently in 2004, however the basic methodology and premises
remain the same.
