Design, Form, and Chaos Hardcover – Illustrated, December 5, 2017

Timeless design starts here. #goforit

Purchased for my son. He loves it.

"Design, Form, and Chaos" is a book about Aesthetics, Process, and Professional growth.The book is already 25 years old, but still very relevant and contemporary. The book itself is a nice combination of art album and essays.First part, which I liked most, explores the aesthetic roots of design and shows linkages between art and design. While this part could be seen as a bit theoretical, not practical, it lays out foundation principles. Next part shows these principles put in practice, it demonstrates working process using a number of real examples, including Next and IBM. The final essay is devoted to learning and coaching. I find it a bit boring, "the grass used to be greener" style.Overall, a great book combining reading and visual experience, and calling for re:reading and re:visiting.

A powerful book for designers. Mr. Paul Rand is a master with a didatic, witty and revealing view of the challenging conflict of form and content. This book is a must have.

Baby aye it and did not die, so I’m happy!
