5.0 out of 5 stars A superb book from the master of design., 4 Nov 2001
By A Customer
Paul Rand is internationally famous for his influence on design throughout the twentieth century and this book sums up a lot of his beliefs. Explained visually as well as literally he masterfully argues for a simple and clear design aesthetic.

This book is a must for anyone interested in design. Your knowledge will be increased and your visual sensitivity enhanced.

There are numerous black/white and colour plates which show you Rands meticulous and logical approach to design.
