must for design students
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I had referred to this during the course of my dissertation on visual indentity of brands. I realised that this book is excellent for design students to acquire an orientation on the aspects of design in a very wholisitic manner. It is perhaps one of the best books that i have read in the category of design criticism. I really enjoyed the manner in which it brings together a collection of essays by people from various design fields- this not only provides a great assessment tool as a whole but each essay is complete in its individual treatment. The issues that this book tackles is very timely and uses accuracy of language in explaining thoughts. It is open-ended in that it ties up social, cultural and economic aspects in the domain of design.
