Pattern Design (No CD)

'When considering patterns, a worn-out but ever resurfacing 'form vs. content' dichotomy arises. Patterns sometimes get relegated to the rank of easy, almost sinful satisfaction. They have gone in and out of style for centuries, but the fascination they exert never falters. By presenting patterns together with their applications, Pattern Design introduces a diverse selection of beautiful motifs as well as the innovative, often witty ways they are used.' 'The book features 113 distinct patterns, 100 of which are included on an interactive CD-Rom packaged with the book. Users can select patterns and use them for personal experimentation. The patterns on the CD-Rom are accessible with both Mac and Windows platforms. The CD-Rom in combination with the book provides a unique tool offering readers hands-on experimentation and a better understanding of the role that pattern plays in all types of design applications.'--BOOK JACKET.
