Synopsis
Excerpt from Design: An Exposition of the Principles and Practice of the Making of Patterns
That softer on the spirit lies Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes.
Such qualities are, however, not to be obtained by rule or precept. All that rule and precept can do is to show beginners what others have found it wise to do.
The present work is an exposition of those principles which it is wise to follow in the designing of patterns. To have said much upon the designing of plain objects, or upon the adaptation of patterns to material, would have necessitated the expansion of the book beyond present possibilities.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the principles of design for practical use in the applied arts. It begins with basic elements such as form, shape, and colour, and progresses to more nuanced topics like balance, harmony, and symbolism. The author provides clear guidance on how to combine artistic principles with practical considerations like material and function, with a wealth of examples to show the principles in action. The author argues that a systematic approach to decoration can yield not just pleasing but also meaningful and significant results, whether the design is intended for a vase or a cathedral. Ultimately, this book is a complete and practical guide to understanding design motifs for any student, scholar, or practicing artist. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
