    About this ebook

    A hands-on book design students and designers alike will welcome. Elements of Design is a tribute to an exceptional teacher and a study of the abstract visual relationships that were her lifelong pursuit. Rowena Reed Kiostellow taught industrial design at Pratt Institute for more than fifty years and the designers she trained-and the designers they're training today-have changed the face of American design. This succinct, instructive, invaluable book reconstructs the series of exercises that led Kostellow's 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.

      Who Needs Design?

      Jun 1, 2017

      Design is an investment, not an expense. But it’s not uncommon to hear startups claim that they value design, but are going to wait to engage a design team later: “We need design, but we just can’t afford it right now.” “Maybe after we launch our M

    • 5/5
      Wonderful book of exercises for exploring elementary principles of 3 dimensional design. I have tried a few of these and found I became totally immersed in exploring variations for a couple of hours or more. Also beautifully photographed and presented book.
    • 5/5
      The book is a vivid description of various projects exploring the attributes of design. The book is written in an experiential fashion. A good read. The pictures of the images are very attractive and thought provoking. Requires a patient reading. May serve as a quick reference book for design educators to land up with basic design exercises.
    • 4/5
      Far better suited to the practically minded. Without access to materials it is impossible to get the full experience out of this book. However, even without such access I found myself thinking 3-Dimensionally; experiencing the world in a different way; enjoying the subtle aesthetic appeal of certain objects.

      I would highly recommend for anyone looking to pursue design, or even just curious about how the other half lives.
