Summary:

"Design is both a process and product. As process, design is visual problem solving: creating, organizing, and evaluating. As product, design is a tangible visual solution. It is a resolution of visual elements, materials, and function expressing the unique personal stamp of the designer. While it is true that design is an integral part of all visual art, this book focuses on functional design that seeks to create aesthetic solutions to visual problems touching the daily lives of everyone."--Foreword.
