Features: With the continuous improvement of socio-economic levels, design plays an increasingly significant role in people's lives. Transportation design, environmental art design, fashion design, graphic design, and many others are just a few examples. However, becoming an outstanding designer and excelling in one's professional field is not an easy task. Among these, the study of fundamental design principles is an indispensable and crucial component. The purpose of this book is to serve design students who need to build a solid foundation in design, as well as candidates preparing to take exams for design-related majors. The book stands out with its unique approach. While most similar books focus solely on basic theories and design element exercises, this one not only covers these topics but also uses numerous examples to demonstrate how fundamental theories and design elements are applied in practical design scenarios, their effects, and includes detailed critiques of works. This addresses the common issue of students not knowing how to apply their foundational knowledge, bridging the gap between basic learning and design practice.
Most faculty members and graduate students from our School of Design have been involved in the writing of this foundational design principles series for many years. With years of teaching experience, the majority have studied at renowned domestic institutions such as the Central Academy of Fine Arts and Tongji University, possessing both strong theoretical foundations and extensive practical experience. They form a dynamic and dedicated team. This series of foundational design principles compiles the teaching and research achievements accumulated over the years by this team.
