5.0 out of 5 stars Too lazy to think of a title for this review 24 Aug 2011
By Martin Hadzhiev
Format:Paperback
The book came in a pretty satisfying condition considering it's 35 years old. It arrived a bit late but I suspect the postal service in my country is to blame for that, so no complaints there.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointingly scant content 8 Oct 2002
By Alfred Viola - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I know I'm going to anger some of the folks who really believe in this book, but I was really disappointed with how slim and scant the educational content was. There are very many black and white illustrations of the students' work related to Itten's teachings. And his outlook is very pure and creative. I really enjoyed that aspect of this book, but expected more meat! I wanted to know more specifically about conflict. I wanted him to go deeper. As it is, he brings up a well ordered set of concepts, explains them clearly and then moves on. In my opinion this book is wildly overpriced. I probably would give it four stars had it only cost me between seven and fifteen dollars. At thirty and change it's not worth it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't expect a textbook 8 Oct 2008
By Andrew A. Gill - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Design and Form is a solid text, with many examples of the type of work that Itten tasked his students with. Itten does not, however, lay out a series of lectures for the student. Rather, Itten lays out a path of experimentation and self-discovery for the student to follow. Much of the content will be familiar to anyone who has read The Art of Color, and for those people, I could not recommend buying (nor could I recommend avoiding) this book. If the reader needs clarity on a subject, many examples prod the reader into finding a solution.

In sum: A good (but not great) text when considered on its own merits, and an average text when considered in conjunction with Itten's other works.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great finding! 5 Jan 2013

This particular book is one of the most important written works to teachers and students who are interested in understand design thinking and abstraction. Fantastic!
