Author Description

""The Bases of Design"" is a book written by Walter Crane and originally published in 1920. It is a comprehensive guide to the principles of design, covering everything from the basics of line, shape, and color to more advanced topics such as composition and perspective. The book is heavily illustrated with examples of design from various cultures and time periods, and includes practical exercises for readers to try out on their own. Crane's approach is highly analytical, breaking down each element of design into its component parts and explaining how they work together to create a cohesive whole. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in graphic design, illustration, or art history, and remains a classic text in the field to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
