Synopsis
An introduction to two-dimensional design. Its structure should allow lecturers to use the text in various sequences. Each design concept is presented in a full two-page spread and visual examples from many periods and cultures are provided for all principles of design, meaning the text should be practical and easy for students to refer to while they work. Increased representation of cultural diversity in this edition emphasizes the universal application of design principles and examples from nature and popular culture seek to promote "design awareness" in the student's environment.

Review
"The best thing about DESIGN BASICS is the clarity of the writing. The division of topic areas adds to this clarity. For example, most students can understand a complicated concept like the Golden Rectangle after reading this section in the book. The illustrations clearly describe the concepts discussed in the chapters."
