From products we use to clothes we wear; and spaces we inhabit; we rely on colour to provide visual appeal; data codes and meaning. Color and Design addresses how we understand and experience colour; and through specific examples explores how colour is used in a spectrum of design-based disciplines including apparel design; graphic design; interior design; and product design. Through highly engaging contributions from a wide range of international scholars and practitioners; the book explores colour as an individual and cultural phenomenon; as a pragmatic device for communication; and as a valuable marketing tool. Color and Design provides a comprehensive overview for scholars and an accessible text for students on a range of courses within design; fashion; cultural studies; anthropology; sociology and visual and material culture. Its exploration of colour in marketing as well as design makes this book an invaluable resource for professional designers. It will also allow practitioners to understand how and why colour is so extensively varied and offers such enormous potential to communicate.

Wow; didnt expect this much value!By Rob FultonIve been Logic Certified and have purchased every book on logic over the past 10 years; and this is the best book on Logic Pro X to date. Its more in depth and quite more fun to read.There are many take aways and Graham does a great job demonstrating areas of Logic Pro X that are vague to figure out on your own in the App.Whats great about this book is its easy to find what youre looking for; and when you find it; theres real depth in explanation.Chapter 10; "Playing Virtual Vintage Instruments" is great. Graham covered in detail how to use Vintage B3; Clav; Electric Piano and the AMAZING Retro Synth.I tweaked a lot of my settings and my tracks sound a lot better with just a few of the tips hes written.Graham did a great job on the book; and the bonus material downloads on Logicstudiotraining.com are sweet!Looking forward to learning more from Graham!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Worth having; but cheaply publishedBy john hayhurstAlways nice to have another prospective on logic I have more detailed ones as well. I was hoping for more explanation in the piano roll because I am a professional musician who has used notation since a kid. I just very much dislike the cheap paper and photos in the book; its like your trying to understand detail on a bad old fashioned xerox copy in school. Thats the publishers fault. I think the author did a very good job1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. The right book for meBy SprkymrtThis is what I was looking for; not too complicated and also has a chapter on orchestral instruments. So many of the books these days only concern themselves with electronic and rock instruments (and I understand that) because that is whats popular these days; but for the rest of us we should be given some information on handling the rest of the orchestra and its relation to the software and how to modify them.
