Book excerpt: Design Essentials offers an illustrated glossary fundamental to the study of two-dimensional design. Three general types of terms are included: those that describe visual elements or design concepts, those that describe media or materials, and those that describe critical issues or historical styles and movements. This second edition offers expanded discussions of recent developments in contemporary art as well as an increased emphasis on the vocabulary central to the study of basic graphic design. This innovative text further explores the creative process and specific issues related to beginning the study of art in an academic setting. Coupled with the suggested problems and critique strategies presented in the final section, the book will enable students to effectively explore their potential as artists and designers through the challenges presented by foundation studies. -- from back cover.
