An Illustrated Field Guide to the Elements and Principles of Art + Design

Absolutely the best book that explains the elements of design and the principles of design.

This guide helps me compose and design my artwork (oil painting and photography). It’s good to use for considering alternative design ideas, and to occasionally help break through a creative ‘slump’.

This book quickly and intelligently groups all the good stuff for design and composition; I intend to use this in many of my classes. Good read.

I will be using this book to teach art and design. It's a great comprehensive and concise primer.

Got this book for my school. It's got some great things to learn. Love this book.

I like that this book is concise and yet has much of the exact information I need for teaching students about the elements and principles of design.

Hoping for more.

This is a fantastic, very succinct, guide to the basics. As close to a cheat sheet as you can get, but in book form.

A book that contains condensed information about design and aesthetic principles.

Clear brief explanation of Elements and Principles of Design;

Barely 50 pages of poor quality concept sketches, that are extremely rudimentary and printed in super larger sized font. Nothing that justifies the premium price tag of Rs 1750. Shouldn’t even cost 100 bucks. Don’t even think of wasting your hard earned money on this joke.

I was looking for a very thin summary of Principles of Art and Design so that I could carry that book around in a field. I required that the book needs to be colorful, with intuitive graphics, big fonts, and complete. OMG, this book ticks all the boxes. I just loved it, I find it very useful for my needs.

Ok
