About this title

Synopsis

Examines key principles of design, explains their connection with art, math, and science, and discusses number, ratio, scale, rhythm, and contrast

From the Back Cover

Design is fundamental to our lives, for it is really about the making of things, which is the business of artists, scientists and technologists alike. All are concerned with innovation and problem solving and can profit from a study of ideas developed in other disciplines.This book, therefore, examines some of the key principles of design and shows how these also underlie much of what we know of art, mathematics and science. It covers such topics as number, ratio and scale, rhythm and harmony, similarity and contrast, and suggests how these may relate to the total design problem.As visual imagery is an important aspect of design, graphics form a vital part of the book. Each pair of pages can be seen as an event with illustrations and captions complementing the text - often in unusual combinations. For the aim is to provoke questions about meaning, purpose and method in design - to open the doors and windows of the mind. (71/4 X 91/4, 336 pages, illustrations, charts)
