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.
