Approach to a basic design course

$400.00

This one shows a series of student works produced by a group of industrial design students at the Kansas City Art Institute over a period of eight weeks. The purpose of the course was to familiarize the students with the laws of visual language by logically guiding them through a series of problems beginning with simple exercises and gradually progressing to more complicated ones. That’s probably true of most design courses, but rarely are the results so handsome. Produced under the direction of instructors Inge Druckrey (see her book here) and Hans Ulrich Allemann, this thing is a total beauty.
