DESIGN

‘The author's command of the subject area is immaculate and the wide

ranging references to contemporary design culture give the book a

unique selling point.’

Julie Sheldon, Liverpool John Moores University

This is the student’s essential guide to design – its practice, theory and

history.

An easy-to-use and authoritative A–Z, Design: The Key Concepts will

take you through such key topics as:

•

International design – from Europe to Africa

•

Design history – from Art Nouveau to Punk

•

Sustainable design, recycling and green design

•

Design theory – from semiotics to gender, to post-colonialism

•

Design technology, graphic design and the web.

Fully cross-referenced, with up-to-date guides for further reading,

Design: The Key Concepts is an indispensable reference for students of

design, design history, fashion, art and visual culture.

Catherine McDermott is Professor in the School of Design at

Kingston University, London, and a well-known writer and curator on

contemporary design. Her current projects include work for the Design

Council, the Crafts Council and curating in China and Africa.
