Universal Principles of Design

Universal Principles of Design

By William Lidwell, Jill Butler, and Kritina Holden

Universal Principles of Design is the first cross-disciplinary reference of design. Richly illustrated and easy to navigate, this book pairs clear explanations of the design concepts featured with visual examples of those concepts applied in practice. From the 80/20 rule to chunking, from baby-face bias to Ockham’s razor, and from self-similarity to storytelling, 100 design concepts are defined and illustrated for readers to expand their knowledge. This landmark reference is the standard for designers, engineers, architects, and students who seek to broaden and improve their design expertise.
