This volume caters to those concerned with design standards, and explains design as a basic human faculty that shapes all human artifacts. Rawson examines the history of design and its four aspects: materials, processes, forms, and purposes. He covers the various modes of processing -- wasting, forming, molding, and construction; the conceptual and psychological principles involved in changes of form; and the human purposes and meaning as they are realized through different media. Other topics include: color, symbol, drawing, print, fine art, interior design, and environmental design. ISBN 0-13-199886-2 (pbk.): $29.95 (For use only in the library).
