Color and design - Marilyn Revell DeLong

From products we use to clothes we wear, and spaces we inhabit, we rely
on colour to provide visual appeal, data codes and meaning. Color and Design
addresses how we understand and experience colour, and through specific
examples explores how colour is used in a spectrum of design-based
disciplines including apparel design, graphic design, interior design,
and product design. Through highly engaging contributions from a
wide range of international scholars and practitioners, the book
explores colour as an individual and cultural phenomenon, as a pragmatic
device for communication, and as a valuable marketing tool. Color and Design
provides a comprehensive overview for scholars and an accessible text
for students on a range of courses within design, fashion, cultural
studies, anthropology, sociology and visual and material culture. Its
exploration of colour in marketing as well as design makes this book an
invaluable resource for professional designers. It will also allow
practitioners to understand how and why colour is so extensively varied
and offers such enormous potential to communicate.
