Decoding Design explores the work of energy in the universe and how to apply these principles to design for effective, aesthetic and ethical visual communication.
In the process of matching universal quality to message you learn to create better design while developing a deeper appreciation for the core of human inspiration: Nature.
The book opens with an introduction to natural pattern and travels through the qualities and shapes of the single digits up through the quantum leap of the Tenth Power.
You are transported from atoms to galaxies in this exciting and visually rich interdisciplinary excursion.
Deconstructions of well known logos are also explored, along with international examples of symbolic integration into design.

School of Visual Arts (SVA) will honor April Greiman with the Masters Series Award and retrospective exhibition.
One of the first American designers to embrace digital technologies, Greiman has explored the intersection of art, design and architecture for more than a quarter century.
Born and raised in New York, she now heads the Los Angeles design consultancy Made in Space.
"April Greiman: Does It Make Sense?" will be on view from October 20 through December 13, 2008, at the Visual Arts Museum, 209 East 23rd Street, New York City.
"April Greiman was a bridge between the modern and postmodern, the analog and the digital," says Steven Heller, design historian and co-chair of the MFA Design Department at SVA.
"She is a pivotal proponent of the 'new typography' and new wave that defined late twentieth-century graphic design."
