Design Studies, a collection of 27 essays from an international cast of top design researchers, makes a strong argument for performing rigorous research and analysis in creating graphic design. Each author outlines methods in which research has aided their design—whether by investigating how senior citizens react to design aesthetics, how hip hop culture can influence design, or how design for Third World nations is affected by cultural differences. Five annotated bibliographies further aid designers in their research. This comprehensive reader is the definitive reference for this new direction in graphic design and an essential resource for both students and practitioners.
Audrey Bennett is associate professor of graphics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
