About this title

Synopsis:

For courses in Basic 2-D Design from a contemporary perspective.

Conceptually rather than technically based―and hands-on in approach, this unique introduction to two-dimensional design shows students how to integrate technology and its creative applications with the more traditional realm of basic design. Structured for the novice, but with built-in exercises for the computer literate, it demonstrates how the computer may be used as a tool to enhance visual vocabulary in an increasingly digital and web-connected culture. Throughout, students explore the fundamentals of design through a series of hands-on projects that teach design concepts and the incidental technical skills of art making. Students learn the basic principles that govern design have not changed, but that the media and methods of approach used to make visual products have broadened to include digital technology.

From the Back Cover:

Design Dynamics is an innovative, project-based workbook, where the fundamentals of design arc reinterpreted through the use of current technology. This book offers an alternative approach to two-dimensional problem solving that spotlights the exciting growth of technology within the visual arts.

Design Dynamics

• Incorporates contemporary digital applications, while offering traditional media approaches to design projects
• Uses a range of approaches to image generation with digital cameras, scanners, and the Internet
• Contains a variety of project examples and possible solutions
• Offers basic problem solving strategies that evolve into more complex design solutions
