4.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, but still very useful, January 3, 2007

Steven Pigeon (Montr�al) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Principles of Pattern Design (Collections of Graphic Art in Dover Books) (Paperback)

I expected this book to be more about geometry and less about art, but I find that it's rather the opposite. This book is about art first: it relates each design with culture and presents many examples. What it lacks, maybe, is compass-and-ruler instructions to create some of the more symmetrical designs; but it's nothing one can't figure out I'm sure.

This review is from: Principles of Pattern Design (Collections of Graphic Art in Dover Books) (Paperback)

Nice little book (137 pages), helpfully laid out by shape (square, brick, diamond, triangle, ogee, hexagon, circle, scale). Clear, black and white images in several mediums, one page of text for each shape, plus intro and vocabulary. Small but useful for this design-beginner.
