The first book of its kind, Raizman’s History of Modern Design offers a gorgeously illustrated survey of the applied arts and industrial design from the eighteenth century to present day, covering furniture, metal, glass, ceramics, fashion, appliances, transportation, and advertising.
Wonderful
| Customer Rating: | | I've wanted this book for quite some time now. I actually remember the day I first spotted it on the shelves of a local bookstore. Since then, I have frequently gone to peruse its pages at the design library where I work, and I have found it to be an invaluable resource. It is one of the few books that strive to show the interrelationship between the many design disciplines, and, for those of us lucky enough to have had the opportunity to study under Dr. Raizman, it serves as a constant refresher and reminder of a truly wonderful class. |
Impressive!
| Customer Rating: | | I completely disagree with the first reviewer's comments, especially about the quality of the pictures. In fact, that's probably one of the book's highlights. The writing is also extremely accessible whether you are a student or a coffee-table book browser. The book is clearly meant to complement a wide range of history of design courses, which may likely vary from instructor to instructor, college to college. I would venture that it is the instructor's responsibility to find relevant sections that can be utilized in her class, and not expect that the book will be organized according to her own syllabus. |
One of the few books of it's kind but falls terribly short
| Customer Rating:  | I purchased this book for my design history course. I was really excited about adding a comprehensive design book to my collection, that covered several fields, not just graphic design, but fashion,industrial design, posters, teapots, chairs, and architecture.
Sadly, this book was a dissapointment. The organization of the book is hard and thus throughout my course I am constantly searching around the book like crazy for information about the pieces that weve talked about in class. The pictures are terribly few and most are black and white or of poor quality. The text is not very reader friendly either, it seems eroneous and muddled.
I've suggested that we use a different book for our design course at my college. Unforunately there is a lot of writing on the comprehensive topic of design in the 20th Century. If anyone else cna suggest a single text for us to use please do. |
