At last, a mathematical explanation of how art works presented in a manner we can all understand. Kimberly Elam takes the reader on a geometrical journey, lending insight and coherence to the design process by exploring the visual relationships that have foundations in mathematics as well as the essential qualities of life. Geometry of Design-the first book in our new Design Briefs Series-takes a close look at a broad range of twentieth-century examples of design, architecture, and illustration (from the Barcelona chair to the Musica Viva poster, from the Braun handblender to the Conico kettle), revealing underlying geometric structures in their compositions. Explanations and techniques of visual analysis make the inherent mathematical relationships evident and a must-have for anyone involved in graphic arts. The book focuses not only on the classic systems of proportioning, such as the golden section and root rectangles, but also on less well known proportioning systems such as the Fibonacci Series. Through detailed diagrams these geometric systems are brought to life giving an effective insight into the design process.

CHOICE Review
Elam (Ringling School of Art & Design) explains visual relationships among mathematics, science, and the arts. She uses examples from architecture, art, graphic design, and industrial design, all created by known professionals such as Jan Tschichold, Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, Durer, and Joseph Muller-Brockmann. Elam's extensive research is presented in an understandable fashion that adds a recognized value and brings a level of respect to the fields of art and design. The elegant design, using vellum overlays of many geometric systems, maximizes reader understanding by allowing readers uninterrupted views of the original work by simply turning the vellum page. This small eye-opening paperback is a "rare gem"! Lower-division undergraduates through professionals; two-year technical program students. J. V.
