DESIGN BRIEF SERIES

Gail Greet Hannah

Elements of Design is a succinct, hands-on, invaluable book for students and designers that reconstructs the series of exercises created by legendary design instructor Rowena Reed Kostellow to guide her students from the manipulation of simple forms to the creation of complex solutions to difficult design problems. It includes her exercises and commentary along with selected student solutions, and concludes with examples of work from former students who became leaders in the field, including such well-known figures as Tucker Viemeister, Ralph Applebaum, Ted Muehling, and many others that have changed the face of American design. An invaluable resource to students, designers, and instructors.
