Product Description
Product Description
Professional artists, photographers, gardeners, chefs, and even hosts trying to set a pretty table will welcome this handsome exploration of design principles. Through hundreds of photographs and accessible text, even the most abstract design concepts—such as rhythm and balance—become easy to visualize and understand. Find out how to manipulate visual elements, work within the design space, create attractive symmetrical arrangements, establish a focal point, and more. Examples of good design range from ceramics, jewelry, architecture, and painting to clothing, hair styling, gardening, sushi, and vintage movie posters. Plus, guided exercises help users grasp each principle.

Praise for DESIGN!,
By Renie Breskin Adams (DeKalb, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Design!: A Lively Guide to Design Basics for Artists & Craftspeople (Hardcover)
What I noticed first in DESIGN! were the many beautiful color photos of art on virtually every page. As a fiber artist (with works in the book), I especially appreciate how comprehensive the book is in representing all arts and crafts media. The text is thorough, readable, and complete with design exercises. I recommend DESIGN! wholeheartedly to artists, teachers, and any readers who enjoy the visual arts.

My morning lift!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Design!: A Lively Guide to Design Basics for Artists & Craftspeople (Hardcover)
I'm afraid this gorgoeous book has replaced my daily morning devotionals! I look forward to my time with this visually stimulating "work of art." I am taking it very slowly as not to have these images and the dialogue run out too quickly.I'll be ready for a sequel very soon!

a well-rounded design book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Design!: A Lively Guide to Design Basics for Artists & Craftspeople (Hardcover)
This book was so inspiring. It got me thinking of how design plays a part in so many aspects of my life. Now when I set a table or plant additional flowers in my garden or paint an abstract painting, I have lots of helpful ideas about what would make these projects successful. I think this book is for everyone, not just artists or designers.
