The Designer

"The Designer is an essential book for anyone interested in, or involved in, design - from those who teach and employ designers to those intending to train in the field. Sassoon surveys fifty years of change in the world of design, covering a wide variety of aspects - from the skills that have been lost and the new techniques that affect our everyday work, to the different methods of training and whether they prepare the student for the work place." "Rosemary Sassoon provides an account of her own career from her beginnings at art school and an apprenticeship, with accounts of long-forgotten techniques of the art. This is an important study of design as an art and a skill - a practical tool with a rich past and relevance for the future."--BOOK JACKET.

Rosemary Sassoon is the author of several books, including, most recently, of Handwriting of the Twentieth Century, also published by Intellect. She works as an independent consultant.
