Feature Identifies seven qualities of good design in the objects we live with, showing multiple examples of each quality. --There are many books introducing and explaining the world of art, but there are practically none that introduce them to design. This book is intended to fill that gap. --Most design books are descriptive, historical, or an abstract on a single designer. Very few actually define design and the elements of good design. I offer a unique take on this subject, presenting it in a lighthearted but substantive way and illustrating it with cut-paper art, rather than photography. The book uses simple and clear language about complex and sometimes abstract ideas. Rather than just descriptive, it is an analysis of what makes something good design. Its easy to read, not technical or using industry jargon. The artwork makes an unfamiliar subject less intimidating.
