Opinion Thinking about Design

Thanks for that.

 

It should be "Thoughts on Design"...most recent edition 2014 (4th). Correct? Sounds like an excellent Christmas gift to ask for!

 

Thank you for this tip! Looks like the title may be, according to Amazon (ordering now)
Paul Rand's Thoughts on Design

 

Not enough red on the cover.

 

In my amazon cart now.

Thanks!

 

I'm currently reading "Mastering Layout: On the Art of Eye Appeal" by Mike Stevens. Someone on here recommended it - it's an excellent read. I wish I had the printed version though. I'm reading the digital version, and it's hard to jump around and look at the glossary and the images. A real book would be easier.

 

It's important not to confuse Paul Rand with Rand Paul.

There's a decent web site for Paul Rand that shows off some of his most important work as well as different books about him and his design process. Saul Bass is another design titan from the same era. He not only designed many well known corporate logos, but also designed opening title sequences to quite a few classic movies. There's a couple good books about his work.

 

Wonder what books Paul Rand and Saul Bass read to help them with designing?
