Description
"The Fundamentals of Digital Design" looks at the dominant role that digital design plays in how we create and consume a wealth of different design disciplines, by focusing upon key figures and technological developments across five different areas" graphic design, moving image, sound and image, architecture, and digital art. "The Fundamentals of Digital Design" provides an historical context for each of these disciplines and explores how they have developed and been influenced by the introduction and application of digital technology. Every discipline's theoretical and contextual studies are supported by visual biographies of leading practitioners, and this is accompanied by critical analysis of the work illustrated. As such, "The Fundamentals of Digital Design" forms an invaluable reference tool for students across a range of design-related courses.
