Reviews

'... this book allows an undergraduate student a clear sense of the multifaceted nature of design. It is a handbook of the basics, allowing students to see the development of design in different productions, with judicious use of photographs and some technical drawings...Through case studies, students can study images and technical drawings that bring out the importance of design as problem-solving - which seems to me to be a better way of introducing a student to understanding the design process.' - Kathryn Leader, Australasian Drama Studies
